About This Business

PLAYA VISTA JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND BUSINESS SERVICES, operating as PVJOBS, is a nonprofit 501(c)3 public benefit corporation dedicated to providing career-track employment opportunities for at-risk youth, adults, and veterans in the construction and related industries. With a strong presence in the Los Angeles construction arena, PVJOBS has been an active participant in implementing local and targeted hiring goals on major public and private developments, thereby creating sustainable pathways into the middle class for thousands of residents. The organization's mission is rooted in the belief that every person deserves a career, regardless of their past, and that educational attainment and career-track employment are key to reducing community crime and poverty. Through its pre-apprenticeship training programs, PVJOBS offers hands-on and classroom instruction leading to industry-recognized certifications in over 20 construction trades. By advocating for the inclusion of disadvantaged workers on major projects and assisting contractors in meeting hiring goals, PVJOBS serves as a national model for job programs targeting at-risk populations. The organization's vision is ambitious: to end community violence and poverty through coordinated services and partnerships across multiple domains. With more than two decades of experience, PVJOBS has demonstrated its commitment to revitalizing local communities through employment preparation, training, and advocacy. By supporting PVJOBS, individuals and organizations can make a tangible difference in the lives of inner-city youth and disadvantaged individuals, helping to build stronger, more resilient communities. PVJOBS' impact is further amplified through its support of future entrepreneurs, celebration of women in construction, and recognition as a champion nonprofit by the LA Super Bowl Host Committee. As a testament to its effectiveness, PVJOBS has been featured in media outlets such as Fox 11 News, highlighting its role in changing lives and contributing to the betterment of society.
