OPIC wants to partner with you as you address post-pandemic employment trends and anticipated regional needs. How can we tailor training that is useful and effective to properly equip job seekers? As a community focused institution, we want to discuss our fund development plans with you to make sure our efforts align with your investments.
Since 1984, we have administered federal and state funded workforce development programs on behalf of the City of Oakland, first under the Job Training Partnership Act, and now under the Workforce Investment Act. The Oakland PIC has also been a pioneer in establishing innovative programs such as the Women-In-Skilled-Trades pre-apprenticeship training program in 1988, and the Cypress/Mandela pre-apprenticeship training program in 1993.
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, OPIC is rooted in the community. We celebrate the beautiful diversity of the City of Oakland and have been intentional about making sure that our Staff and volunteer Board of Directors reflect our city. The Board is comprised of representatives from the private sector, community-based organizations, organized labor, and local government agencies.
We offer acknowledgement and recognition as a leading supporter of OPIC’s mission and its impact on employee growth and business success in these ways:
Recognition and Signage at OPIC Office’s and/or the Career Center Annex Website Listings and promotion
Participation in OPIC programming
Financial Health Series for clients and partners @ Career Center site
Access to our vast network of clients, businesses, and partners for special programs and campaigns
OPIC is also developing a signature in-person event – Conversations with the CEO, an opportunity to be showcased and interviewed by our CEO. There are funding opportunities associated with this program.
