Job seekers and employers can now experience a more personalized and structured path to workforce services in Contra Costa County. A new interactive tool on the WDBCCC website creates a list of available resources according to need and user type: adult job seekers, youth job seekers and employers.

"We wanted to improve the user experience on our website by making it easier for job seekers and employers to more easily find the services we and our partners offer and understand what steps they need to take to access those services," said WDBCCC Executive Director Tamia Brown.

If you haven't already, check out the new tool! You can find it at the top of our homepage, as well as on our Services Offered pages.

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) students from Mt. Diablo Adult Education celebrated their graduation last month.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations and wish them all the best as they embark on their new careers!
