SDCCD’s WorkAbility III program serves employers by providing the m with qualified applicants that meet the specific requirements and qualifications posted within their job announcements. Our program also assists employers by developing paid and unpaid internship opportunities.

In most cases, these temporary positions develop into formal job offers at the end of the internship.
