What makes Oakland a great place to work? The Oakland Workforce Investment Board's network of One-Stop Career Centers is one important factor. Drawing upon the resources of more than 150 public and private partners, the One-Stop Centers help job seekers improve their qualifications and bring them together with employers who will benefit from their skills. Each center provides the entry point to free, state-of-the-art services that will prepare you for and connect you to many great jobs and careers, such as:

• Access to local, regional and national job listings, including the CALJOBS Internet job match system.
• Contacts with local employers who are seeking workers.
• Tools to help you assess you interests, aptitudes, skills and values so you can find the job that suits you best.
• Seminars that will show you how to improve your qualifications and job search skills.
• Assistance in preparing a strong, effective resume.
• Connections to Bay Area organizations where you can get training, further your education or obtain support services.
• Program links that can set you on a productive career path.
• Job and career coaching.
• An extensive, multimedia resource library with up-to-date information on jobs, careers, companies and the labor market.
•  

There are four centers in the Oakland One-Stop network – one comprehensive center, and three affiliate centers that extend the reach of the network to geographically and linguistically diverse populations.

The WIB-sponsored Oakland One-Stop Career Centers are affiliated with EastBay Works, a network of 18 similar centers located throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
