San Diego Workforce Partnership, Inc.
(Workforce Partnership) has been in operation since 1974, when a joint powers agreement between the City and the County of San Diego created what is now a nonprofit public benefit corporation. The Workforce Partnership has long created workforce solutions for the region’s employers and individuals through public and private partnerships. We provide cost-effective, quality programs and services that promote self-sufficiency and address the current and long-term needs of the region’s employers. This is largely accomplished through the Workforce Partnership’s regional network of One-Stop Career Centers and its targeted adult and youth employment and training programs. These resources provide job seekers and employers with universal access to labor market information and comprehensive employment resources. |

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Save and create more than 3.5 million jobs over the next two years;
Take a big step toward computerizing Americans’ health records, reducing medical errors, and saving billions in health care costs;
Revive the renewable energy industry and provide the capital over the next three years to eventually double domestic renewable energy capacity;
Undertake the largest weatherization program in history by modernizing 75 percent of federal building space and more than one million homes;
Increase college affordability for seven million students by funding the shortfall in Pell Grants, increasing the maximum award level by $500, and providing a new higher education tax cut to nearly four million students;
As part of the $150 billion investment in new infrastructure, enact the largest increase in funding of our nation’s roads, bridges, and mass transit systems since the creation of the national highway system in the 1950s;
Provide an $800 Making Work Pay tax credit for 129 million working households, and cut taxes for the families of millions of children through an expansion of the Child Tax Credit;
Require unprecedented levels of transparency, oversight, and accountability.
In the face of an economic crisis, the magnitude of which we have not seen since the Great Depression, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act represents a strategic -- and significant -- investment in our country’s future.
The Act will save and create three to four million jobs, 90 percent of them in the private sector. It will provide more than $150 billion to low-income and vulnerable households -- spurring increased economic activity that will save and create more than one million jobs.
