Project Coordinator

The UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health (LOSH) Program is dedicated to promoting worker health, safety, and wellbeing, and building capacity for workers and worker organizations to take action to improve working conditions. LOSH offers high-quality training and education, participatory action research, policy analysis, and worker leadership development to advance worker rights and protections. LOSH is a unit of both the Institute for Research and Labor and Employment (IRLE) and the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH).

The LOSH Project Coordinator oversees LOSH training initiatives designed to promote hazard awareness, injury and illness prevention, skills building, and leadership development among workers in Southern California. The Project Coordinator supports training and program development efforts under LOSH's Worker Occupational Safety and Health Training and Education Program (WOSHTEP) and other statewide initiatives for both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences, with a particular emphasis on the role that labor unions and the labor movement play in promoting safe and just work. The Project Coordinator is responsible for various facets of assigned projects, conducts outreach, facilitates meetings and communications between project partners, contributes to development of curricula and materials, convenes worker training sessions (in-person and online), provides follow-up support and assistance to training participants, and supports program evaluation activities. The Project Coordinator leads and co-facilitates trainings in English and Spanish and supports a network of training participants through ongoing outreach, technical assistance, and engagement. They work in close collaboration with other LOSH staff, subject-matter experts, partner organizations (labor unions, worker centers, and community-based organizations) and government agency representatives to carry out assigned tasks.
