jewish employment network (JEN)

In our continued response to the economic crisis and the increasing unemployment rate in San Diego (now exceeding 10%), we’ve launched a new program to serve the many Jewish community members affected with job loss.  

The Jewish Employment Network builds on our already established series of career planning and job search workshops by adding services to support our clients in their job search. They will receive mentoring from professionals in the community, one-on-one job coaching, and access to a variety of job postings. Funding for the Jewish Employment Network of JFS is generously provided by the San Diego Jewish Community Economic Recovery Fund, a joint project of the Jewish Community Foundation and the United Jewish Federation of San Diego County.
