ABOUT CARMEN TOVAR
20 years of experience empowering individuals through career training programs. I specialize in creating and implementing innovative work-based learning (WBL) opportunities that equip young people with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in the workforce and pursue higher education. I have experience with grant-funded workforce initiatives with a particular emphasis on Career Technical Education (CTE) and the development of career pathways in active industry sectors. I understand the grant funding process including writing, interpreting local, state, and federal regulations, reporting, compliance with grant requirements, and achieving grant objectives. Extensive background in building and managing relationships with K12 school districts, industry partners, city elected officials, Workforce Development Boards, continuation high schools, adult schools, and partners that include community organizations and other stakeholders. Successfully implemented career readiness training and internship programs in Barstow, Bellflower, Davis, Downey, Glendale, Long Beach, and Los Angeles Harbor communities.
