Advancing Racial & Economic Equity
for a More Prosperous California
Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 2022 impact report. This has been a very exciting year for JVS and we are proud to share some highlights that uplift the powerful work we, and our strong community of diverse and committed partners, are carrying out throughout California every day.
As you’ll read in this report, JVS has made a tremendous impact for the many people who complete our high impact training programs. Working graduates are earning an average of 126% more in annual wages four years after participating in a JVS program, compared to one year prior. While these are exciting outcomes that we’re proud of, we recognize that there is more work ahead to ensure that all Californians, especially those from historically disinvested communities, have truly equitable access to opportunities and economic prosperity.
The last several years laid bare the historically deep racial inequities that our country must reckon with and mend, and for JVS this means continually pushing ourselves to be more bold and innovative in how we structure and carry out our work. People of color continue to be most impacted by systemic discrimination, income inequality, and occupational exclusion – factors that act as significant barriers to securing quality, family-sustaining careers with opportunities for economic advancement and wealth-building. These persistent systemic inequities highlighted the urgency to center our work even more deeply in racial equity, and a systemic approach, to build a strong and inclusive workforce where all Californians can thrive.
JVS is a leader in using innovative and responsive strategies to help community members find quality careers and in 2022, we continued to lay the groundwork to launch into a new and exciting phase of our organization.
We know that job placement isn’t enough, and as we enter our 50th year we are launching a bold, ten-year strategy to dramatically increase our impact through three key pillars:
- Scale our job training programs to serve more people.
- Build strong employer partnerships to shift hiring practices to be more inclusive, especially for people without 4-year degrees, and those from historically disinvested communities.
- Influence policy initiatives for systemic change that ensure that our public workforce infrastructure is more equitable for all job seekers and supports them in achieving lasting economic mobility.
Our commitment to job seekers has, and always will, remain the same: we support people to find good jobs with pathways for economic advancement. We know that workforce development organizations, including JVS, must move beyond traditional models and invest in radically different strategies that drive change by creating equitable access to opportunities for those on the margins.
Having served the JVS community in various roles for almost ten years, I am confident that we are building a strong foundation for a bold and exciting next phase of our organization that centers economic mobility, systemic change, and racial equity.
Lastly, and quite importantly, I offer deep gratitude to our staff who work tirelessly each day to support our job seekers on their path to economic mobility. I am honored to lead JVS in this next exciting phase of our work, and I thank you for your partnership – we can’t do this work without each of you. Please stay tuned; next year will bring more new and exciting news as we celebrate 50 years of JVS, together. Together, we work for a thriving California.

INVESTING IN CAREER PATHWAYS FOR ECONOMIC MOBILITY
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality jobs and economic mobility, and we know that we have the opportunity to uplift untapped talent in our communities. As an organization committed to racial equity, JVS recognizes that communities of color continue to experience disproportionate economic, social, and structural discrimination that act as significant barriers for so many. We are committed to ensuring that all of our community members have equitable access to opportunities, especially in the midst of a changing economy, so they, their families, and communities can thrive. We meet job seekers where they are at and provide cohort-based training opportunities, along with paid experience, that build the skills, confidence, and connections necessary to progress on their journey to thriving-wage careers, economic advancement, and prosperity.
Over the last year, JVS continued to invest in improving, growing, and innovating our high-quality career pathway, training, and advancement programs to be more accessible, easier to navigate, and developed strategies to meet community needs at scale.

Pivoting Towards a Thriving Career
in Healthcare
Melody’s Story
“Our JVS EXCEL cohort became like family. We always supported each other and I looked forward to seeing everyone, even though we were on Zoom. I learned so much through the program and felt so supported through the process.”
In 2020, Melody started a new job. On her first day of work, the lockdown began. A few months into the job, her manager announced upcoming pandemic-related layoffs for new hires and encouraged them to search alternative options for work. At first, she thought about exploring medical billing and going back to school, but didn’t want to commit to an expensive training. Then she learned about JVS and our no-cost 5-month Medical Administrative Assistant training program, often known as EXCEL, run in partnership with University of California San Francisco (UCSF). When she went to the orientation, she was intimidated by the 200 candidates in the Zoom call, but she applied and eventually got a spot in a cohort of 26. Melody earnestly shared, “During the pandemic, this was the biggest blessing for me.”
Melody always wanted to be in the medical field, but didn’t quite know how to find her place in it. Through the program, she was able to learn in depth customer service skills that not only helped her with her current patient-focused job, but also supported her in landing a paid internship at UCSF’s Cancer Center – exactly where she wanted to be. Through this internship, she learned something valuable about herself and the work she feels passionately about. She explained, “I realized I have a lot of compassion for our elders. This is my way of giving back; I have my own little way of brightening up their day.”
With this newfound self-understanding, Melody was determined to stay in the Cancer Center after her internship. Melody showed gratitude for JVS, her classmates and her teachers for helping her get to where she wanted to be. In November 2021, she was hired full-time with benefits at UCSF’s Cancer Services Department. Through the EXCEL Program and with JVS’s support, Melody found a role that truly reflects her altruistic character and encourages her to apply that in all that she does.
Kali Meeks,
Information Systems Trainee,
San Francisco Controller’s Office
Turning a Love of Technology
into a Full-time Career
Kali’s Story
” JVS is just amazing. They’re extremely supportive of the whole community. When I see someone in a similar situation or trying to better themselves, I promote JVS anyway I can. They want to do whatever it takes to help you succeed.”
Kali always loved technology, but never thought it would become his full-time career until he learned about the JVS IT Support Program. Previously working as a security guard, he applied and was accepted into the program, which teaches both soft and technical skills through online programming twice a week.
“The program was challenging at times, but it allowed me to build confidence and build a skillset,” shared Kali. As part of the program, he was placed in a paid internship with Salesian Academy where he learned some “A+” skills. Soon after, and with JVS’s support, he landed a six-month fellowship as an Information System Trainee at the San Francisco Controller’s Office, where he provides IT support for different City departments.
Previously interested in technology through his love of creating electronic music and producing for various recording studios, the IT work itself was up Kali’s alley. He excitedly explained, “I always dreamed of being able to work on a computer all the time. Some people are complaining in this remote age, but for me, it’s a dream come true.” Transitioning into a career that suits his interests and skills, while challenging him mentally, is exactly the direction he wanted to go.
Working towards his full-time career, Kali is now referring others to the program, believing in anyone’s ability to change professions at any point in their life.

Partnering for a Thriving California
JVS is part of a larger ecosystem committed to transforming how Californians gain the skills and connections to find quality, family-sustaining careers with opportunities for advancement. It is imperative that all of us, including private sector employers, hold a shared responsibility to reimagine and transform training, hiring, and advancement practices. We know that when we work towards equitable paths to opportunity, individuals, families, employers, and communities can thrive.
Over the last year, JVS continued to invest in critical partnership-building to shift the narrative, improve job quality, and expand opportunities for non-traditional talent. We know that we can’t do this work alone and need the continued investment from employers to ensure our collective success.
University of California, San Francisco:
Investing in Talent & Shifting Hiring Practices
Nearly two decades ago, UCSF and JVS connected to support local job seekers on their path towards greater economic mobility. Initially partnering to host informational brown bags for job seekers, the relationship has grown into a deep partnership that includes multiple training programs that support local community members with starting and advancing in careers in clinical medical assisting, medical administration, and IT support.
Following UCSF’s expansion to Mission Bay in 2009, UCSF and JVS partnered on a pilot medical administrative assistant training program, still known today as Excellence through Community Engagement and Learning (EXCEL). The goal of the program was to offer no-cost training, paid work experience, and career opportunities to local community members living in historically disinvested communities, while also supporting UCSF with developing a pipeline of quality untapped talent. After successfully graduating more 400 people in over 20 cohorts of EXCEL, the partnership expanded to include a medical assisting training program, career advancement training program, and IT support training program. “We’re so grateful for our partnership. There’s a real alignment with our values and dedication to the community, which is critical,” shared Kelly Anglim, Workforce Development Programs Administrator at UCSF.
For UCSF, it has been a priority to have greater, and more equitable, economic impact locally and over the years the institution has increased its investment in workforce and community development initiatives. In 2016, UCSF launched its Anchor Institution Initiative, which focuses on increasing UCSF’s capacity to train, hire and promote people from local historically disinvested communities; direct more spending toward local community businesses; and to explore local social impact investing opportunities.
As part of this community-focused initiative, UCSF is in ongoing conversation with community-based organizations, including JVS, to address barriers in its hiring, onboarding and advancement processes to ensure greater equity, inclusivity, and retention. To date, UCSF has made significant strides in shifting its hiring policies related to cannabis use, in support of hiring those previously involved in the criminal justice system, as well as other strategic talent approaches to expand access to good jobs and careers at UCSF.
JVS knows that engaging with partners like UCSF is essential to transforming the world of work so that individuals, families, employers, and communities can thrive.
“Our partnership with JVS has supported us in identifying local and statewide opportunities for workforce development, which has the opportunity to change the trajectory of workforce strategy in communities across California. We need partners that think expansively and help us push the envelope, and JVS helps us do just that.”
– Michael Jones, Workforce Development Organizational Consultant at UCSF
ONETEN: Uplifting Black Talent
OneTen aims to close the opportunity gap for Black talent in America by creating opportunities to earn success and ignite potential for generations to come. The coalition connects Black individuals without four-year college degrees with leading education and skill-building organizations, committed employers with family-sustaining jobs, and talent support services.
As an organization committed to ensuring greater racial equity in the workforce, JVS joined OneTen as a talent developer in 2022. We know that our collective success is born through strong partnerships, coalitions, and learning with and from our peers. Through this partnership, JVS is connecting with new employers who have committed to hire Black talent, and gaining additional resources to work with employers to change their hiring practices and mindsets.
“OneTen’s mission of placing Black talent without four-year degrees into family-sustaining jobs is achievable in large part because of talent development partners like JVS. They provide high-quality vocational training, job readiness, career counseling, and job placement services. As a OneTen partner, JVS is transforming the American hiring ecosystem and breaking down barriers to create a more equitable playing field.”
– Maurice Jones, CEO, OneTen

IEWorks: Building models of success
in the Inland Empire
In 2016, JVS partnered with BAYWORK, a regional consortium of water and wastewater agencies, to design and implement effective training programs, assess training gaps, inform bridge programs, and identify replication and expansion opportunities for future models.
In 2020, JVS partnered with community leaders in the Inland Empire to replicate successes and lessons learned from the JVS/BAYWORK partnership, and together developed IEWorks. IEWorks, an Inland Empire-based regional water and wastewater industry nonprofit, creates opportunities for underrepresented workers in the Inland Empire to secure high quality career pathways, while also resolving mission-critical labor shortages in water and adjacent industries.
Over the last two years, IEWorks has increased the number of highly qualified candidates for mission-critical positions in the water/wastewater industry, supporting 50 workers to get the training and support they need to advance their careers, while also ensuring economic equity across the Inland Empire. IEWorks is working hard to develop a diverse talent pipeline through apprenticeship, internship, and career awareness opportunities.
Our key partners include: West Valley Water District, Metropolitan Water District, Inland Empire Utilities Agency, San Bernardino-Riverside Building Trades Council, Inland Empire Labor Council, San Bernardino Valley College, Inland Empire Black Worker Center, and more.
“The IEWorks internship program benefits me to pursue a career in water due to one of the main things needed to get into the water field, and that’s experience. With the experience that this program has granted me, it will be more of a legitimacy for me to be able to pursue a career in water moving forward.”
– Dimitrius Glass, IEWorks Intern 2022
SFMade: Offering High Schoolers an
On-Ramp into the Manufacturing Industry
Based in San Francisco, SFMade advises, supports, and partners with local manufacturers who create quality jobs and career pathways for job seekers experiencing barriers to employment. Working towards a more vibrant, equitable, and resilient economy, SFMade offers a full service hub that connects community members to employment and training opportunities, provides local manufacturers with educational resources; and supports policymakers with strategies that increase opportunities for home-grown manufacturers, and their employees, to thrive.
For more than 9 years, JVS has partnered with SFMade to offer young people the opportunity to learn about the manufacturing industry, and connect them with career pathways in the sector. Through the partnership, SFMade has brought manufacturers into local high schools, helped young people gain on-the-job training through paid internships, and more.
In 2022, JVS joined SFMade as a partner on a new initiative: the Inside Manufacturing Advanced Manufacturing On-Ramp Program. Funded by the City of San Francisco’s Department of Youth and Family Services and Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the program deepens SFMade’s impact by offering more high school students from the San Francisco Unified School District the opportunity to launch quality careers in the manufacturing industry. Young people will be supported through career exposure opportunities, work-based learning, paid internships, and job placement support with additional training opportunities. In its first year, the program is expected to serve more than 50 high schoolers.
“My internship through SFMade has helped me get an understanding of how it feels to work, how to manage my time efficiently, and has helped me build my confidence.”
– Joshua A, SFMade Intern 2022
Transforming Systems & Shifting Policy
Over the last fifty years JVS navigated through five recessions and continued to meet changing community, hiring, and industry needs. The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the deep inequities so prevalent in our communities that are a direct result of discriminatory policies and systems that leave so many on the margins of opportunity.
Each year, we continue to invest in high-impact training programs and critical partnerships to shift the economic realities for many in our communities. Even so, we see the ways that bad policies and structural barriers add significant challenges for job seekers across California. Our deep expertise working directly with job seekers and partnering with employers to create high impact training programs informs our approach to creating structural change through our policy and advocacy work. We know that to create transformative impact at scale, training programs are not enough. We must address the systemic and structural inequities through policy and systems change.
JVS will continue to innovate and invest in transforming the systems and policies that remove barriers, create more equitable opportunities for earning and learning, and offer more members of our communities increased access to thriving-wage careers, prosperity, and economic mobility.
