About the role

Alternative Pathway For Part-Time/Exempt Employees The Alternative Pathway for Part-Time/Exempt Employees creates an opportunity for current part-time and exempt City employees to obtain regular, full-time employment with the City of Los Angeles. The program is divided into two phases: 6-12 months of on-the-job training (Trainee phase), followed by a 6-month probationary period (Assistant phase). After successful completion of the probation period, the individual will then transition into the targeted civil service classification. Please note that the starting salary may vary; however the salary for the 'Trainee' and 'Assistant' classifications are generally equivalent to the salary for the Targeted, Civil Service classification. Salary placement will be calculated in accordance with the applicable Memorandum of Understanding and the Administrative Code. Current employment with the City of Los Angeles and 2,080 continuous work hours in a position that performs duties related to one of the targeted, civil service classifications are required. Applications must be submitted online at www.governmentjobs.com/careers/lacity. Use the search bar to find the "Alternative Pathway for Part-Time/Exempt Employees" and click the green "Apply" button. Online applications will be accepted through Monday, April 30, 2029.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
