Recruit diverse students from LPC associate of science (as) degree programs, llnl incumbent worker pools, and local industry partner employee ranks; 3. Provide trained students from LPC to llnl and industry partners; 4. Implement an internship program at llnl and at industry partners to match trained, diverse, trade/technician-skilled workers with on-the-job training (OJT); and 5. Support transition of workers into good job placements at llnl and industry partners.
