Recruitment Assistance
The WIB works with businesses to streamline your employee recruitment process. We will meet with you to determine your hiring needs. Whether you have just a few openings, or hundreds, WIB staff will assist with:

	Job Listings
	Applicant Matching
	Resume Review
	Prescreening Applicants

List A Job
Your Business Service Representative will assist you in searching for qualified candidates based on specific job requirements. Jobs are listed on the internet through the regional job matching database - CalJOBS. This database allows you to identify the desired qualifications for each job opening. Once you've posted a job opening, you can browse resumes of job seekers who meet the job qualifications.

Staff will assist with the placement of these job orders, or, you may choose to place the job orders and review resumes directly through the Internet. No special hardware or software is needed.

Contact the Employer Services Hotline (707) 863-3534 to Post a Job Opening.

On-The-Job Training
This program will reimburse up to 50 percent of the employee's wages during the training period. This allows you to offset the high cost of hiring and training new employees. We will work with you to match an experienced applicant with the job qualifications for an "On-the-Job" (OJT) training position.

Job Readiness & Retention
Employers consistently remind us that they are looking for more than job skills and experience when hiring new employees. Employers are looking for people who understand how to operate in the workplace. The WIB has a special training program for all enrolled clients designed to identify the skills, behaviors, and attitudes that contribute to an employee's success in the workplace. Job Readiness workshops include training on "Attitude and Motivation" and "How to Shine as a New Employee".

Once employed, WIB enrolled clients continue to receive support from their Employability Specialist, who will assist them in being successful on the job. The goal is to help the new employee establish a solid foundation upon which to build long-term success on the job. We provide assistance with any job related challenges that clients may encounter, and, we work with clients and employers to identify and career advancement opportunities.

Customized Training
Funding is available for specific skills training for new hires or incumbent workers. The WIB can serve as a "broker" with qualified local, educational/training schools. In some cases, the WIB can seek additional targeted resources to fund special customized training programs.

Some training programs may be fully funded by the WIB, and others may require a "match" of training investment dollars from the employer. Staff will work with each employer on a case-by-case basis to determine training needs and develop a plan as appropriate.

Tax Credits
The WIB assists employers with the following Federal Tax Credit programs: Workers Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Local Area Military Base Recovery (LAMBRA).

Business Closure or Mass Layoff
We provide an experienced team to respond when a business is facing a closure or mass-layoff. Outplacement services for employees are provided in cooperation with your management and human resources staff.
