WHAT IS THE PART-TIME/EXEMPT ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY?

This program creates an opportunity for current part-time and exempt City employees to obtain regular, full-time employment with the City of Los Angeles. The program is divided into two phases: 6 months of on-the-job training (Trainee phase), followed by a 6-month probationary period (Assistant phase). After successful completion of the probation period, the individual will then transition into the targeted civil service classification.
