LAEP Employer Resources
NOTICE: LAEP is not available for the 2024-25 academic year due to the state budget. The May Revision of the budget called for a cut to many one-time programs which included the Learning Aligned Employment Program (LAEP). LAEP is no longer funding 2023-24 employment as of July 1, 2024. |
Through a partnership with the California Student Aid Commission, Shasta College is excited to offer wage reimbursement to offset the cost of hiring a student. Most employers are eligible to participate.
