One-Stop Career Centers In District 15

District 15 One-Stop Career Centers

California is recovering from one of the worst economic recessions since the Great Depression. Scores of companies have downsized to stay afloat, eliminating jobs and leaving many individuals looking for work. Fortunately, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program can help connect those looking for a job with critical resources, such as job training to sharpen their skills. WIA funds a wide variety of employment and training programs for both youth and adults to help strengthen their employment expertise and proficiency. The Services are offered in One-Stop Career Centers throughout the State and are free of charge.

Your local One-Stop Career Center can help identify potential sources for training such as:

Basic Training – Obtain a GED or strengthen your basic math, English, or reading skills.
Vocational Training – Obtain training in job skills and industries that are currently in high demand.
On-the-Job Training - Become trained by a local employer in skills needed for a particular job through on-the-job training programs or apprenticeship opportunities.

The One-Stop Career Centers also provide workshops on interview skills, applying for financial aid, job search techniques, and writing a résumé. Topics vary based on location. Contact your local One-Stop Career Center for details.
