Frequently Asked Questions

Can I live in any city and receive services in any One-Stop Career Service Center?

Yes. Under the new Workforce Investment Act of 1998 there are no residency requirements. You may visit any facility for self-directed job search information or job leads.

Can I skip Core and Intensive Services and go directly to Training Services?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Each individual must complete the specified requirements and meet with a case manager prior to enrollment in any type of training course. This is to ensure that each individual has exhausted every avenue of job search resources prior to receiving training.

Can you assist me in changing my career path in order to obtain a different type of work?

The primary goal of the Foothill Employment and Training Connection is to assist you in getting employment. While we do provide training, these services are provided under limited circumstances. Instead, our business focuses on job search assistance, assessment, coaching and counseling.

How long will it take to transition form Core Services to Intensive Services?

This is dependent upon each individual’s situation. All individuals must complete the “passport” information before they can go to the next level of service.

Once I am approved for training can I go to any training facility?

No, you must attend one of the facilities authorized by Foothill Employment and Training Connection.

What if I have an injury that limits my ability to return to my former career?

If your situation limits your job options, Foothill Employment and Training Connection can refer you to one of our partner programs.

What is CALJOBS?

CALJOBS is California’s Internet system for linking employers’ job listings with job seekers’ resumes for jobs throughout California.

Why am I required to provide identification or “right to work” documents in order to receive CALJOBS assistance?

Since providing right-to-work documents is a state mandated law we must also adhere to this law in order to provide you with this assistance.
