The Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach Goods Movement Training Campus will provide a single and centralised location aimed at attracting, recruiting, and retaining workers in the goods movement sector.
State officials presented a ceremonial check reaffirming a US$110 million pledge to help fund the US first training facility specifically devoted to supply chain workers, located within the San Pedro Bay ports complex.
This allocation will be spread across three fiscal years, starting with the 2022-23 state budget with additional amounts in 2023-24 and 2024-25.
Additionally, the training center is expected to provide new job opportunities for residents of nearby communities while strengthening skills for the existing logistics workforce.
The campus is anticipated to open by 2029 and is a partnership between the Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, the California Workforce Development Board, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association.
