Stirling Capital Investments, Prologis Donate Facility for Workforce Training
The companies have made a 10-year commitment to donate a building at its SCLA project for a high desert training facility to provide the workforce skills businesses need today.
The training center will target the local manufacturing, transportation and logistics industries. The logistics industry in particular is experiencing labor shortages. Last fall, Prologis launched Community Workforce Initiative in Los Angeles to address the issue, and since the program has expanded to Miami and New York.
SCLA has more than 4.5 million square feet of industrial space and a roster of tenants that include Newell Brands, FedEx and General Electric. The training center will be housed in the 66,000-square-foot former George Air Force Base. SCI plans to upgrade the facility to accommodate the training center.
