The POWER Collaborative Network (PCN) is a cluster of human resource providers & community outreach socioeconomic development specialists who formed in November 2000 to more resourcefully serve the County of Los Angeles. Guided by the spirit & intent of the Workforce Investment Act, the PCN is a value-created network delivering essential humanitarian efforts, thus, the acronym POWER means Promoting Opportunities With Essential Resources.
The PCN members obtain useful socioeconomic data & innovative developments in human services via monthly meetings held at various member locations. The PCN employs face-to-face agenda topics covering discussions on job recruitment, funding, training, & other related human need interests. In addition, PCN members use the Internet as a collaborative learning tool by regularly sharing vital resources and opportunities with colleagues and the community at-large.
The POWER Collaborative Network monthly meetings are produced and managed by the Southland Partnership Corporation [a nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) organization]. For job/training opportunities visit www.IStartOnMonday.com
