Our Services

We connect job seekers to employers and trainers and provide access to Veteran transition services, a career resource library, workshops, virtual and on-site interviews with local employers, job leads, resource referrals and access to computers and other office equipment.

Job seekers can search for employment and create resumes and cover letters in our computer lab.  We have several computers that are ready for job searching. Resume wizards are also available for easy access to resume templates, in addition to a variety of products designed to assist job seekers in finding employment and increasing basic skills to enhance their competitiveness in the labor market. Keyboarding and basic computer classes are offered at no cost and taught by trained counselors. 

PACE Downtown/Pico Union WorkSource Center provides a wide range of services to businesses from recruitment & screening to layoff assistance  through the EWDD Rapid Response Team to help securing federal tax credits. We also assist with posting job openings into CalJOBs; information on Earned Income Tax Credits and Empowerment Zones; assistance with pre-screening potential employees and conducting on-site recruitments; provision of Labor Market Information; and advice and consultation to small businesses about microenterprise training.

PACE has teamed up with the Los Angeles Public Library by opening a small satellite office at the Central Public Library in Downtown LA.
