Women’s Expo Highlights Career Paths at LADWP
Over 2,500 people attended LADWP’s second annual Women’s Career & Wellness Expo on May 4 at the Truesdale Training Center. Hosted in partnership with IBEW Local 18 and the Women’s Council, the event drew job seekers, LADWP staff, students, families, and members of the local community to learn about LADWP jobs and benefits. The Expo highlighted career opportunities in the utility industry – with a special focus on jobs for women – and the many employee programs that support work-life balance in the workplace. Event speakers included L.A. City Council District 6 Councilmember Imelda Padilla; LADWP Chief Operating Officer Aram Benyamin; LADWP Senior Assistant General Manager - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Gregory Reed; and President of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners Richard Katz.
"Events like the Women’s Expo highlight the value of the women in our workforce, and showcase the many LADWP career opportunities for women, especially in much-needed fields like utility trades and STEM. This event also emphasizes our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing opportunities and promoting union jobs where every worker is paid equally, no matter who they are.”
Martin L. Adams, former LADWP General Manager and Chief Engineer
Attendees were treated to a visual, hands-on look at the incredible and varied work of LADWP staff. The event featured many live demonstrations that took place throughout the day; from helicopters to heavy equipment to electrical pole climbing.
At many career booths, staff from dozens of LADWP divisions shared details about their roles and information on how to apply for jobs like theirs. Careers represented ranged from professional fields like personnel and customer service to skilled craft positions like Instrument Mechanic, Heavy Duty Truck Operator, and Electrical Mechanic.
Expo attendees also learned about the benefits of working for LADWP, with information on health and retirement plans, tuition reimbursement, and employee resource groups. Kids enjoyed activities like rock climbing and face painting, and everyone enjoyed a dance party with DJs. The Expo showed women, especially young girls, that anything is possible at LADWP when it comes to career paths.
