As a prospective convener organization, Fun Young Inc is currently forming a strong project coalition to apply for and implement the 2025 Los Angeles County HRTP grant, with an anticipated funding range of $500,000 to $1,000,000. We are actively seeking employers, training providers, and Labor or Worker Representative to co-develop and submit a high-impact workforce development program to LA County DEO.
