California's Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) was established in compliance with the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. ETPL data is provided by training providers. The integrity of the report is contingent upon collaboration between training providers, Career Centers and San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP).
The purpose of the ETPL is to provide customer-focused employment training information for adults and dislocated workers. Training providers who are eligible to receive Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) through WIA Title I-B funds are listed on the ETPL. California's statewide list of qualified training providers offers a wide range of educational programs, including classroom, correspondence, Internet, broadcast, and apprenticeship programs.

The telecommunications and information technology (T&IT) sectors are constantly growing in San Diego. The main player leading this growth is Qualcomm, San Diego’s largest for-profit, private sector employer. Qualcomm’s presence is well-known not just in San Diego, but throughout the world. So just how much of an economic and workforce impact does Qualcomm actually have in San Diego?

The maritime industry, or “Blue Economy,” is extremely diverse, spanning across nearly 200 separate North American Industry Classifications. The industry presence in San Diego is comprised of traditional maritime-related sectors (i.e. fishing and ship building), as well as more recent emerging high-tech industries (i.e. aquaculture, desalination, ocean
energy and maritime robotics), also called “Blue Tech.”
This is a detailed report, conducted by the ERISS Corporation, of the growing impact of the Maritime Industry on the San Diego region. “The Maritime Industry Report,” which is sponsored by San Diego Workforce Partnership, The Maritime Alliance, and San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, found that nearly 46,000 people work in the Maritime Industry, with a fiscal impact on the region of more than $14 billion in direct spending.

Given recent economic and policy trends, it has become evident that population-specific research is important to discern the best ways to work with target groups, such as youth, the long-term unemployed, the underemployed, and other sets of individuals with some common backgrounds. One such group, the previously incarcerated, has been identified as being of core importance nationally and in the San Diego region.
The San Diego Workforce Partnership commissioned BW Research Partnership to conduct focused research on reentry workforce issues to supplement its 2011 Occupational Outlook Report. This research was developed with a particular focus on industries and occupations that may be relevant for job seekers with a prior criminal conviction. The report is intended to inform the development and refinement of prisoner reentry programs.

The Life Sciences Summer Institute is one of the San Diego
Workforce Partnership’s (SDWP) most exciting youth programs. Students from all
over the county spend part of the summer in life sciences “boot camp” learning
about how to work in a lab. Then, they are placed in labs for real-life work
experience. Perhaps even more impressive, the same program runs for teachers!
Groups of science teachers come every summer, learn about how the life sciences
industry operates, and then they take it back to their classrooms.
This study looked specifically at why companies were interested
in participating in this program. Did they see the program as a training ground
for new workers? Did they think it helped their bottom lines? What parts of the
program do they like best? What parts are problematic? This report answers
these questions by letting the life sciences industry speak for itself. You
might be surprised at some of their answers!

This report was commissioned by The San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP) to determine whether and how San Diego’s HIT cluster can be strengthened and how to develop career pathways in this emerging field. Healthcare information technology or HIT is the intersection of information science, computer science and healthcare. It deals with the resources, devices, and methods used to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of information in health and biomedicine. In turn, HIT is a combination of the information and communication technologies that are critical in healthcare delivery; from telephones to intelligent sensors and data mining, these technologies are pervasive through the entire healthcare workflow process from disease prevention to diagnostics, treatment, monitoring, and aftercare.

San Diego’s community healthcare clinics provide a valuable service to their patients and the community. Providing a wide range of services, clinics are often the best and sometimes the only option for thousands of residents throughout the county. Without a public hospital or clinic within the city or county government, the network of regional, non-profit health clinics is critical to serving San Diego’s residents.
This report, commissioned by the San Diego Workforce Partnership Funders Collaborative, provides analysis and recommendations regarding: current allied health workforce issues; specific skill requirements and deficiencies among medical assistants (and their equivalents); and opportunities and obstacles for career advancement at community clinics.
This report was funded by the Regional Innovation Clusters of Opportunity Grant on behalf of the Funders Collaborative as part of a broad effort to understand the workforce needs of employers needing new skills and new workers in healthcare information technology, or HIT. Because medical assistants are the most intensive users of HIT systems generally, the San Diego Workforce Partnership went beyond the initial research of HIT penetration at community clinics to explore these important workers skill profiles and deficiencies at the region’s community health clinics.

San Diego County has the largest concentration of military personnel in the nation, home to over 135,000 enlisted and civilian employees. This concentration is at the core of San Diego’s economy, representing tens of billions of dollars in direct spending that has grown steadily over time. One recent analysis suggests that up to 26 percent of all jobs in San Diego result from this significant military presence.
In addition to the direct employment and benefits to other supporting industries (such as food service, laundry, etc.), the concentration of military and Department of Homeland Security supports a vibrant ecosystem of government contractors. This report was commissioned by the San Diego Workforce Partnership to understand more fully the size and breadth of this ecosystem and whether the public workforce system could provide assistance to defense contractors in the preparation of a skilled workforce. The findings in this report are based on a review of existing literature, select executive interviews with several key thought leaders, and a representative sample of 125 contractors in the county.

San Diego County has lost nearly 40,000 construction jobs in the last five years. Only one-third of those jobs are expected to return by 2015, though “green construction” jobs are expected to grow at an above average rate. The San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP) and Cuyamaca College commissioned this study to examine the growing demand for green construction workers and identify the training these workers will need to be successful in the field.
The study surveyed 159 San Diego-area construction firms working in the construction subfields most likely to perform green construction, namely residential remodelers and roofing, electrical, and plumbing and HVAC contractors. Firms operating in these areas are largely optimistic about hiring, with nearly 30% expecting to add new permanent employees in the next year and fewer than 4% anticipating layoffs. Overall, these employers expect to grow their ranks by 5.5% in the coming year.
