Riverside County Workforce Development - Employer Services

What Riverside County Workforce Development - Employer Services does

Riverside County Workforce Development is a government workforce development agency operating as a division of the County of Riverside Department of Housing and Workforce Solutions (HWS), which was formed in 2020 by consolidating five county housing and workforce entities. The organization delivers services through America's Job Centers of California (AJCC) under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), operating 5 Workforce Development Centers across Blythe, Hemet, Indio, Moreno Valley, and Riverside, supplemented by 6 Youth Opportunity Centers serving young adults ages 16-24. Its core technology is the statewide CalJOBS online platform used for job postings, candidate matching, and eligibility verification, augmented by a Message Center for secure document exchange; no proprietary technology stack is developed or owned by the agency.

The business model is entirely grant-funded: services are provided at no cost to job seekers and employers, with revenue derived from WIOA federal grants, state allocations, County of Riverside budget appropriations, and special grant programs (Prison to Employment, I-REN Clean Energy Workforce Program, Regional Equity and Recovery Partnership). Employer-facing services include free recruitment, candidate screening, job fairs, and wage reimbursement incentive programs — Employer Connect offers up to $9,600 per eligible new hire, and On-the-Job Training provides up to 50% wage reimbursement for 480 hours. Job seeker offerings span resume assistance, career coaching, vocational training, and skills assessment. The organization serves two primary customer types — individual job seekers (including youth and veterans with priority service) and employers across 7 target industry sectors (Construction, Transportation and Warehousing, Health Care, Manufacturing, Retail Trade, Administrative Support, and Other Services). Distribution is hybrid: in-person at physical centers, mobile Career Coach outreach to community locations, phone/email/web meetings, and self-serve through CalJOBS.
