Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) Information

Our Mission: PACE is a community development corporation that creates economic solutions to meet the challenges of employment, education, housing, business development and the environment in the Pacific Asian and other diverse communities. The Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) was founded to address the employment and job training needs of the Asian Pacific Islander communities. With an initial grant from the City of Los Angeles, PACE was created to offer job training and job placement services to its constituent communities. In 35 years, as its program and management experience broadened, the agency realized that the employment and job training needs of these communities could not be adequately addressed simply through the provision of job training and employment services. PACE thus sought to expand its services and job creation programs. Today, its scope of services includes workforce development, housing services and development, business assistance, environmental services and early childhood education. It is headquartered in the central Los Angeles area but there are field offices in other parts of Los Angeles City, San Gabriel Valley and South Bay. The agency has a workforce of over 450 employees who are multi-lingual and multi-cultural to meet various needs of its constituent communities.
