Corpsmember Support
Corpsmember support services through our Corpsmember Development (CMD) department include career and psychological counseling, life skills workshops, case management, certified trainings and one-on-one assistance with resumes, job and college applications and job placement.
The CMD staff also works collaboratively with 211 to assist corpsmembers in enrolling in CalFresh, CalWORKS, Medi-Cal, behavior health services and earned income tax credit. CMD maintains strong employer partnerships to ensure Corpsmembers transition with jobs and the skills and certifications they need to succeed.
On average, 70 percent of our graduates transition to the workforce while 22 percent transition into higher education.
