5900 - EMPLOYMENT AND EMPLOYMENT RELATED SERVICES

The objective of the Employment and Employment Related Services Program is to provide a variety of services to facilitate a match between employers' needs and job seekers' skills. In addition to providing an Internet labor exchange system to facilitate this match, job seeker skills are enhanced through a variety of case-managed programs. These programs are designed to provide specialized services to job seekers needing extra assistance, such as CalWORKS recipients, parolees, veterans, youth, persons with disabilities and long-term unemployed individuals. There are also EDD sponsored Experience Unlimited locations designed for executive, technical, and professional job seekers to assist each other in finding suitable employment.
