The unemployment rate in Los Angeles is still high, and the middle class is shrinking faster and faster with every paycheck. So what does this mean for students in high school, thinking about their next step? Should they go to college and take on an exorbitant amount of loans? Or should they step straight into the workforce? And what’s the best way to find a job that will help a student take a giant leap into the middle class?
Well, in a recent article at Police: The Law Enforcement Magazine, Roberta Weintraub, founder and executive director of the Police Orientation Preparation Program (POPP), wrote an article explaining how POPP, a one of a kind education program for students interested in a career in law enforcement, is providing a new path to the middle class.
We’ve really enjoyed promoting their cause, and the article at Police showcases how extraordinary their program is in Los Angeles and the country.
