Funding job training programs since 1974.

The federal government shutdown is not only very disappointing, but it also puts our continued services at risk. We are working with our workforce colleagues around the state and country to monitor the situation and to explore options. Through it all, our staff and funded partners remain focused on our mission to provide quality job training programs for thousands of San Diego County residents. We will continue to provide updates as the situation progresses, so please be sure to follow our social media pages for the latest information.

  
In addition, despite the uncertainty in D.C., we have good news to share! Three new industry reports have been released; the new Bank of America Merrill Lynch career center has opened in the downtown library; numerous industry-focused events are taking place in San Diego; and our summer youth employment program, CONNECT2Careers is celebrating a great summer of successes.
