LA Works Shuttered After Audit

I was just informed that all branches of LA Works were closed as of June 1st, 2014. This was a valuable tool for unemployed workers seeking retraining or skills for gaining employment.

My client services coordinator, Hilario Bercilla, was such a wonderful person to interact with, and worked extremely hard for his clients.

Apparently there were some questionable charges that led to the downfall of this group.
