Workforce Development Program in Orange County
UpSkill OC aims to support candidates by enrolling them in training so they possess the skills employers in Orange County seek.
United Way’s UpSkill OC workforce development program supports underemployed and unemployed adults as they move from unemployment or low-wage positions into long-term, livable wage, middle-skill occupations. These jobs require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree.
UpSkill OC directly connects qualified candidates to training, support, and middle-skill jobs by partnering with local nonprofits, educational programs, and the business community. The program ensures a strong job pipeline that matches the needs of the employer with trained candidates. By focusing on the largest middle-skill job sectors in Orange County, particularly—healthcare, the trades, and information technology—UpSkill OC reduces the gap between the number of job openings and the number of individuals ready to fill those positions.
UpSkill OC is part of Orange County United Way’s United for Financial Security℠ initiative, which aims to ensure local struggling families find financial security by delivering programs that focus on the most important tools to build financial stability.
