The Los Angeles Times reports on a new program called Corps to Career that's designed to help former Service Corps members find work in state and local government, the private sector, and nonprofit organizations.
Fryday says it's a way for the state to "support our future teachers, tradespeople, business leaders, and the entire economy."
