ReIGNITE seeks to address income inequality by expanding our operations in BIPOC, bilingual, homeless, and other disadvantaged LA communities. We've already taught and certified 1000+ welders with a 100% graduation rate and a 70% job placement rate upon graduation as welders are in high demand. Our brick-and-mortar facility is in Gardena, CA, next to Compton. Our new mobile unit is an outfitted 18-wheeler trailer that goes into other disadvantaged neighborhoods. Each of these facilities and every new mobile unit trains up to 250 people a year.
