CORRECTION & EVENT UPDATE: Hollywood Burbank Airport Not Affiliated with V.I.P. Career Match Day

LOS ANGELES - May 30, 2025 - PRLog -- Living Advantage, Inc. (LA, Inc.) proudly hosted our V.I.P. Career Match Day on Wednesday, June 4, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Manual Arts High School. This empowering event was designed to prepare local youth for success while connecting them with employers, professionals, and mentors committed to opening doors to future opportunities.

V.I.P. Career Match Day offered far more than job placement. Students gained real-world exposure to various career fields, received hands-on support with résumés, and built confidence through mock interviews. Employers and professionals not only connected with potential candidates but also guided students as they explored what's possible for their lives and careers.

Correction Notice: An earlier version of this release incorrectly listed Hollywood Burbank Airport as a participant. The original reference was to Tierra Matlock an individual from ELEVATE BUR, currently contributing to the development of the Holder-Pankow-TEC JV, a new passenger terminal at the Hollywood Burbank Airport.

This year's invitations included:
Mayor Karen Bass
Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce
Beverly Hills Women's Business Network

Pamela R. Clay, Executive Director of LA, Inc., emphasized the impact of the event by stating:

"This is more than just a hiring fair—it's a chance to shift the trajectory of a young person's life. When professionals from our community show up to invest in our youth, it sends a message that their future matters."
