About Us Our Mission
Our Vision
To foster economic growth and prosperity through education, training and lifelong learning.
The San Diego region will be home to the world’s most highly educated and skilled workforce; where a corporate and community-wide commitment to lifelong learning will fuel unprecedented innovation, creativity and economic achievement.
Who We Are San Diego Workforce Partnership, Inc. (SDWP) is a 501(c)(3) taxexempt organization chartered by the County and the City of San Diego to fund job training programs in the San Diego region. The organization’s primary funding is allocated by the Department of Labor under the provisions of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).
A series of SDWP boards vet and approve how funds will be distributed in the community. Upon approval, San Diego public and private agencies, community-based organizations, local businesses, and education institutions receive funding to manage programs benefitting laid-off workers and disengaged youth to alleviate barriers to employment.
SDWP also serves as a source of information on the region's current and projected labor market. Research specialists analyze workforce needs and trends in San Diego County, offering job seekers, employers, educators, trainers, and researchers data on topics such as wages and salaries, occupational projections, employment statistics, and the local economy.

Reaching the Community
Faces OFTHE
AMERICAN RECOVERY
Like a pulse reading, the San Diego Workforce Index gives us a monthly snapshot of how the labor market is functioning. The goal is to find data measured at regular intervals that, when taken in the aggregate, form a clear picture of the market overall. After its launch in December 2010, the Workforce Index caught the attention of workforce development agencies across the country.
Faces of the American Recovery™
is a SDWP outreach effort that documents the stories of inspiring San Diegans who have enriched their lives by advancing their careers. Through government funded programs, these individuals have each started on a personal path toward economic recovery.
