CalJOBS Improvement Project Underway

CalJOBS is California’s online resource center to help customers navigate the State’s workforce services and connect employers with qualified job seekers. Californians can search for jobs, create resumes, and find qualified candidates. While minor enhancements to the site have been made throughout the years, we recognize the need to modernize and improve our online tools for a better customer experience.

The CalJOBS modernization project is underway to make significant improvements that focus on a more user-friendly experience for job seekers, employers, and partners. The process will include EDD’s Customer and User Experience teams to ensure the system meets customers’ needs and aligns with current business needs.

The first priority for the project is to secure a new CalJOBS service contract with an experienced vendor who can meet all identified customer and business needs. We expect to have a vendor in place by summer 2025 in collaboration with the California Department of Technology (CDT) following their project approval process, known as the Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL). The PAL helps ensure clear objectives, costs, schedules, and policy compliance. Each stage requires CDT’s review and approval.

In the interim, we have created California Occupational Guides to provide customers with information about trending jobs and other occupation-specific data to help people make decisions about what careers to pursue. The guides help customers identify potential careers based on qualifications, desired wages, geography, and many other factors. Customers can also compare occupations side-by-side, including job market data, entry requirements, occupation profiles, and education providers. These online guides are a free tool published by our Labor Market Information Division.
