Some food for thought:

🎉 Congratulations, New York!
Pacific Coast Community Services applauds New York for making real progress in expanding workforce participation for people with disabilities. A new report shows participation has grown in recent years — an encouraging sign of greater inclusion

But with only 28.8% of disabled New Yorkers in the labor force and many still facing barriers in education, transportation, and hiring, the article reminds us there’s more work to do. At PCCS, we remain committed to helping California's people with disabilities, veterans, and students build the skills and confidence needed for long-term careers.

📉 Unemployment Ticks Up — But You Don’t Have to Navigate a Layoff Alone
The latest jobs report shows unemployment rising to 4.4%, the highest in four years, even as some sectors continue to add jobs. With companies restructuring, slowing hiring, and AI reshaping entry-level work, more people are suddenly finding themselves in transition — or facing unexpected layoffs.
At Pacific Coast Community Services (PCCS), we want you to know: you don’t have to face that uncertainty by yourself.
Whether you’ve recently been laid off or see the writing on the wall, PCCS can help you build the skills and confidence to step into the next chapter. Our training programs support people with disabilities, veterans, students, and anyone looking to strengthen their long-term career path — from logistics and warehousing to customer service and more.
👉 If you’re in a layoff or worried about one, reach out. We’re here to help.

🚗📉 As layoffs rise, more Americans are turning to gig work to fill income gaps

We can help you build longer-term skills that lead to stable jobs in logistics, warehousing, call centers, food handling, landscaping, and more. Your future shouldn’t depend on unpredictable shifts — let’s build something stronger together.

📣 California’s Manufacturing Boom = More Jobs Ahead
Governor Newsom just announced nearly $100 million in new CalCompetes investments to expand manufacturing across the state — from aerospace and clean tech to micro-electronics and food production. This means thousands of new jobs and major growth for companies ready to build California’s future.
At Pacific Coast Community Services, we’re ready to support this momentum.
If these expanding manufacturers need logistics, warehouse, or inventory control talent, we train those workers — and we can help supply a trained, motivated pipeline of graduates prepared to step into these roles.
California is investing in its economic future. We’re here to help build the workforce to match it.

📣 California’s EDD Offers Priority Employment Services for Those Who Served
At Pacific Coast Community Services, we know how important it is for job seekers to access the proper support at the right time. California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) provides a strong set of employment tools designed to help veterans and their eligible spouses build meaningful careers.
For employers, EDD provides tailored recruitment assistance and tools like the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which incentivizes hiring veterans who may face barriers to employment.
If you or someone you know is transitioning into the workforce, these resources can make a real difference. PCCS stands ready to help.
