AIDS PROJECT LOS ANGELES' WORK SERVICES PROGRAM
INVITES COMPANIES TO POST OPEN POSITIONS ON
JOB POSTING NETWORK FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS

Los Angeles -- AIDS Project Los Angeles' Work Services Program, now in its second year, helps clients negotiate a return to work or to find work for the first time. Due to recent treatment advances, some people living with AIDS are well enough to return to work after long periods of disability. The program is currently building a job-postings network to assist clients in their job search. To post a full or part-time position on APLA's Work Services Job Postings Network, please call (323) 993-1659, (323) 993-1616 or email staff.

APLA's client-base consists of a diverse group of men and women with a wide range of skills and expertise. Work Services will post part-time, limited-time and full-time positions. Jobs including house cleaning, yard work, office work, entry level and executive level positions are welcomed.

AIDS Project Los Angeles, a non-profit community-based organization, provides direct services to more than 8,000 women and children living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County. Services include a food bank, professional dental care, housing assistance, child care, transportation, mental health counseling, case management, home health care and Adult and Child Buddy support. APLA also provides extensive treatment and prevention education and advocacy on local, state and federal AIDS-related legislation.
