West Oakland Job Resource Center

1801 Adeline St 2nd floor room 211, Oakland, CA 94607, USA
Past events

West Oakland Job Resource Center sits in the middle of West Oakland’s neighborhood activity, in the same building as the West Oakland Branch Library across from DeFremery Park. The job center offices are on the second floor, in room 211, so visitors coming for an event should plan on going upstairs rather than into a storefront space. The feel is practical and work focused, with standard office and training rooms used for orientations, classes and one on one meetings.

Depending on the listing, events can be happening either in those upstairs rooms or in the shared library spaces downstairs. Family friendly programs like storytime with songs and movement, kids’ art and STEM play sessions, and the adult craft club usually meet in a basic community room or open area at the branch. The setup is informal and flexible, with tables and chairs moved around for crafts or activities and a mix of kids and adults coming and going. Most events are drop in at the scheduled time, so it is common for people to arrive a few minutes early to find the right room and settle in.

The job center itself was created in 2012 as part of Oakland’s effort to connect local residents to work tied to the redevelopment of the former Oakland Army Base and related projects at the Port of Oakland. It has since focused on helping people prepare for and get hired into construction and transportation, distribution and logistics jobs, with regular orientations, pre apprenticeship training and employer connections based out of this site. Visitors coming for job related events can expect information about those industries, along with staff who specialize in local hiring requirements and support for low and moderate income job seekers from West Oakland and the wider Bay Area.
