Jobworks Inc in University Heights, San Diego, operates a workforce development center at 3295 Meade Ave in the 92116 ZIP, delivering federally funded job training, career coaching, and employer-of-record services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Founded in 1986 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the organization has grown into a nationally recognized WIOA service provider with more than 180 workforce staff serving over 10,000 job seekers annually across multiple states. The San Diego office on Meade Ave runs adult re-employment programs that include personalized career coaching, skills assessment, resume development, job placement, and follow-up support services for dislocated workers and career changers in the University Heights and broader Normal Heights service area. Workforce participants re-entering employment frequently need support navigating tax obligations, and ABC Tax Service on Adams Avenue handles the individual returns that new earners in the 92116 area file each season. Youth programming engages individuals ages 14 through 24 in paid work experiences, credentialed training, job readiness workshops, and life skills development — a pipeline that connects young residents to entry-level employment and post-secondary education pathways. The TechWorks division operates a two-certification virtual IT training program that prepares entry-level trainees for IT support positions through live instruction, one-on-one tutoring, simulated lab environments, and business communication skills development — a program that earned the 2023 TechPoint Mira Award for Educational Impact. Employer-of-record and payroll services remove the administrative burden from host employers participating in WIOA work-experience placements, and the organization has managed over $300 million in federal and state workforce funds since 2000 with zero disallowed costs. The Meade Ave location sits within the University Heights residential grid south of Adams Avenue, connected to the broader Normal Heights corridor and its independent business community. Community workforce development in University Heights intersects with neighborhood economic planning, and University Heights Community Development Corporation coordinates the land-use and commercial investment strategies that create the jobs Jobworks trains residents to fill. The training division maintains registration on more than 21 state eligible training provider lists, making credentialed programs transferable for clients who relocate between WIOA service regions.
