Employer responsibility will include mentoring and coaching participants in varying workplace skills as a host site, without assuming the liability as the employer of record such as payroll and workers' compensation requirements. Program length varies from 120 part-time hours to 320 full-time hours.

Employer Connect
The Employer Connect Program is a countywide program working with the Chambers of Commerce while helping to address labor shortages. The program will provide businesses with funding incentives to hire individuals in our communities, and also educate businesses with tools when they encounter homelessness. Employers can be reimbursed up to $20/hr for up to 480 hours of a new full time hire’s wages if the new employee undergoes a 2 hour virtual training about homelessness programs, resources, and services available within the County

Career Technical Education Program
In partnership with Mt San Jacinto College, the Career Technical Education Program is a robust effort aimed at reducing barriers for students to gain the necessary skills and training by offering rigorous and enriching educational opportunities. Our joint effort will prioritize expanding the following career and technical education curriculums: Medical Laboratory Technician and Medical Assistance; Cyber Security; Advanced Manufacturing; and Utilities. By offering scholarships and stipends to eligible students we are ensuring programmatic expenses are offset to provide equal opportunity in an inclusive environment for our residents. Additionally, employer connections and other workforce services are available as needed. Our commitment is to cultivate a resilient workforce that meets the emerging needs of employers, benefitting our residents and the entire region.
