Placement is the hard part.
We solved it first.

Most workforce programs build a curriculum and then go looking for someone to hire the graduates. We started as the employer.

Why This, Why Now

The labor market broke in two directions at once.

Artificial intelligence is absorbing the entry-level work that used to turn inexperienced people into experienced ones. Employers responded by raising experience requirements, and a cohort of workers is now stuck outside a door that says experience required.

At the same time, the physical work behind that same technology is desperately short-handed. Data centers consumed 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023, and the Department of Energy projects 6.7 to 12% by 2028 — every watt of it built, wired, and cooled by licensed trades. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roughly 81,000 electrician openings a year through 2034. Ninety-two percent of construction firms report difficulty finding qualified workers.

The technology eliminating the entry-level office job is creating a generational shortage in the trades.

We sit exactly in the middle of that. Legacy Work Academy is not a hedge against automation, and we don't pretend a robot can't do what our graduates do. We're rebuilding the rung that got removed — and documenting it well enough that an employer, a licensing board, or a grant auditor can verify every hour.

What We Bring

What each kind of partner actually gets.

Employers

A pipeline you can verify

Trained, screened, documented, work-authorized people — and a training partner who will build a course to your specification. In exchange we ask one thing: W-2 payroll or documented compliance, and workers' comp. We vet before we place.

Nonprofit hosts

A turnkey program, not a cost center

A ready-built program serving the populations you already serve, with the two hardest parts — placement and resources — solved before day one. It runs as revenue, and it strengthens your workforce funding applications rather than competing with them.

Workforce boards and agencies

Records built to be audited

An eligible training provider with employer-anchored placement and per-population outcome reporting. Construction, energy, and hospitality, with veterans as a named priority population throughout.

Veteran service organizations

Send us the ones you can't train

We'll train them, place them with employers we've vetted, and report the outcomes back to you. No competition for the same funding — we're the training end of your pipeline.

Sponsors and equipment partners

Your equipment in the hands of the people who will specify it for the next thirty years, and permanent recognition in a founding circle that is still open. Training labs, tools, devices, and connectivity are all live needs right now.

How We Run

Built to be audited.

Legacy runs paperless by design. Participant hours, task sign-offs, competency assessments, credential dates, and employer verifications are captured digitally as a byproduct of operating — not reconstructed from binders at reporting time.

That matters for three reasons. It's what makes a graduate's experience provable. It's what makes our outcome reporting real rather than estimated. And it's what survives a monitoring visit.

The same thinking runs through the curriculum. AI literacy is embedded in the craft rather than bolted on as a standalone module — which is both the approach federal workforce guidance recommends and the only version that survives a short, exemption-eligible course. The specifics are here.

Per-population reporting

Completions, pass rates, placement, wage gains, and retention — broken out by cohort, by division, and by population, from the first cohort forward.

Retention we can measure

Because the relationship continues past placement — credential renewals, advancement, the next rung — we know where our graduates are at twelve months and beyond. Most programs are guessing.

Job quality as a condition

On-the-books employment isn't an aspiration here, it's the vetting standard an employer meets before receiving graduates. That aligns directly with high-road job-quality criteria.

What We Can Run For You Today

A cohort, on your schedule, without you finding a room.

The hardest logistics in workforce training are physical: a classroom that's free on the right day, transportation for people who don't have cars, and a group large enough to justify both. Live cohort delivery removes all three.

We can stand up a dedicated OSHA 10-Hour Construction cohort for your participants, your members, or your crew — on a weekend, an evening, or two consecutive slow shifts. Delivered live by OSHA-authorized trainers, administered by us, with the reporting attached.

Nonprofit hosts and workforce boards

A closed cohort for your participants

Attendance, completion and card-issuance reporting in the form your monitors expect. No facility required on your end.

Veteran service organizations

Statewide reach, not drive-time reach

You are no longer limited to the veterans who can get to us. Refer them from anywhere in California and we'll report the outcomes back to you.

Employers

Train the crew without losing them to travel

Ten contact hours across two days, scheduled around your production calendar, with a roster and completion record for your file.

It is also the fastest way to see how we operate before committing to anything larger.

Where We Are

San Diego and Southern California.

Our center of gravity is San Diego County — the third-largest veteran population of any county in the United States, more than 109,000 active-duty service members, and the largest concentration of tribal nations of any county in the country. We serve Riverside, Orange County, and the Inland Empire from there.

Let's talk about what you need.

Employers, nonprofit hosts, workforce partners, and sponsors — tell us what you're trying to solve and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
