The downtown Oakland Comprehensive One Stop Center is here to meet the needs of residents of Oakland (18+ years old). We do this work as part of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)Program of the U.S. Department of Labor. WIOA funding provides support for job seekers who need extra help to fund skills training, educational improvement, and on-the-job training. The same WIOA program also has provided limited financial assistance for travel, uniforms, textbooks, licenses, and/or dues.
Clients can choose from a variety of services:
Our goal is to support job seekers with more than just information. We provide workshops and training for all aspects of job readiness.
We are part of a regional network of comprehensive career centers called Eastbay Works, that spans from Contra Costa County to the southern tip of Alameda County. Clients who use our employment training and placement services become members of the regional network. That means that if the place of residency changes, it’s possible to simply utilize a comprehensive center closest to the residence within the Eastbay Works network.
All our services are free and are available to those who are unemployed, dislocated, under-employed, or simply seeking better employment opportunities.
We are happy to have you join us for a career development training session. All workshops require a reservation whether via Zoom or in-person. Unless otherwise specified, all workshops are held at the OPIC downtown location: 1000 Broadway Avenue/Suite 625/ Oakland.
Please call Instructor Kevin Wilhelm at (510) 675-7910 or email him to reserve your spot and get the Zoom link for the training.
