Receive Job Seeker Support through San Diego Workforce Partnership
San Diego Blood Bank is proud to partner with the San Diego Workforce Partnership to offer On-the-Job Training (OJT) opportunities for individuals seeking a meaningful career in healthcare, lab work, donor services, and more.
Through this program, eligible participants can receive paid, hands-on training, career guidance, and even support for work-related expenses—like uniforms or transportation. Most roles don’t require prior experience, and you’ll receive 1:1 career coaching with a manager once hired.
Saving lives starts with a career you believe in.
To access job seeker support through this program, you’ll work closely with a dedicated WIOA case manager to create a personalized plan toward employment. Active participation, including regular check-ins and follow-through, is essential for success.
Working with your case manager allows you to take advantage of supportive services such as gas cards, clothes for work, and more!
How It Works
1. Get WIOA-Eligible
To qualify for the OJT program, you’ll first need to be approved through SDWP’s WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) process. This includes uploading a valid ID, income verification (if applicable), and proof of Selective Service registration (if male and born after 12/31/1959).
- Create a CalJOBS account
- Complete the WIOA application form
You can also visit one of SDWP’s Career Centers during walk-in hours (Mon/Wed/Fri, 8AM–5PM).
