On June 4, 2026, Pasadena City College's Future of Work webinar series opens with a working conversation on the public-interest layer of that recovery: the public services, nonprofit delivery, and civic coordination holding the community together while rebuilding ramps up.

Our first webinar brings together regional recovery leaders for a candid look at:

The current state of recovery on the ground, what's working, where efforts are fragmented, and where the most urgent gaps remain

Where workforce fits into the equation, including high-need roles and whether the talent pipeline is keeping pace

What equitable recovery looks like in practice

How PCC and regional partners can better align to accelerate impact in the months ahead

Featured panelists from across county government, regional philanthropy, community-based organizations, and the rebuild effort will be announced soon.

There are over 100,000 jobs needed to rebuild Los Angeles — and not nearly enough trained workers to fill them.

Community colleges across the region are stepping up, expanding construction, electrical, and infrastructure programs to meet the moment. With stackable credentials and fast-track training pathways, students can move quickly into high-demand careers that will shape LA’s recovery for years to come.

How do we scale training fast enough to meet this once-in-a-generation demand?
