OUR PROGRAMS
Workforce Development
Since 2004, our Workforce Program has been dedicated to helping San Franciscans and Bay Area residents acquire the skills needed to enter or advance in the workforce. We work across a broad array of industries, including food service, driving, security, warehouse, construction, labor, and education. Located in Visitacion Valley, we work to bridge the gap between job seekers and local employers in search of qualified candidates.
Workforce development services include:
Outreach & Recruitment

Orientation & Assessment
- Initial intake and assessment with career advising, employment plans, and placement assistance.
- Explanation of services through Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD)-funded programs.
Career Advising
