Talent Programming
Talent is the cornerstone of economic growth. Our team creates programming to align workforce and education systems, helping all residents in San Diego access quality jobs.
San Diego was one of five cities in 2019 to receive a $3 million investment as part of JPMorgan Chase’s Advancing Cities Challenge, an initiative to drive inclusive growth and create greater economic opportunity across the U.S.
Advancing San Diego is a collaborative program by EDC, the City of San Diego, San Diego Workforce Partnership, United Way of San Diego, and San Diego & Imperial Counties Community College Association (SDICCCA). Through this initiative, San Diego will cultivate a more inclusive economy, as we look inward to address regional talent shortages and strengthen the relationship between business and education systems.
San Diego: Life. Changing. is a campaign designed to attract and retain talent in San Diego by telling our region’s authentic story. We’re highlighting companies, people, and entrepreneurs that have upgraded their lives and made a global impact, straight from San Diego.
Though the campaign focuses on amplifying opportunities at tech and life sciences companies, it also highlights the numerous career offerings, lifestyle options, and life-changing companies that call this region home.
Find out more about the campaign, get involved, and check out the website.
