FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & BOARD PRESIDENT

NOT JUST JOBS, PATHWAYSWith 40+ years of experience, JVS knows how to transform lives.

In July 2015, we launched an ambitious 5-year strategy to help even more people secure jobs with a career pathway. Just one year later, we’ve more than doubled the number of people in these programs. They are building skills and finding good jobs (earning between $40-80k annually) in high growth industries: healthcare, financial services, technology, and more to come.

JVS is transforming the Bay Area by combatting income inequality. Over the next several years, our graduates will earn more than $200,000,000 in wages – all made possible by the generosity of our community.

Thank you for joining our vision of a Bay Area where prosperity is widely shared. We’re thrilled to tell you about our progress in this year’s Annual Report.

Abby Snay Executive Director

2015-16 Results:

• 7 out of 10 career pathway graduates found work

• the average wage for adults rose to $28/hour

• we served 3,000+ people, including nearly 800 youth

HEALTHCARE SUCCESS

Within six months of graduating, job seekers in our Skills to Work in Healthcare programs are moving from poverty to annual wages of $55k+.

For nearly eight years before coming to JVS, Melissa, a single mom in San Francisco, worked hard in a series of part-time jobs - restaurant, retail, and temporary administrative positions. She wasn’t as stable as she wanted to be, particularly with her kids getting older.

Recognizing an incredible opportunity, Melissa enrolled in 10 weeks of JVS training for a 4-month paid internship at UCSF. She excelled, made connections and got hired by UCSF. Three years later, UCSF remains her employer, and with her recent promotion, she’s making $66k annually!

“ JVS helped me get my first official permanent job. That was big for me. I’m so happy to be building a better life for me and my family. ”

These figures represent unaudited agency expenses and revenue for the Fiscal Year 15-16.

John had a successful career in financial services and technology, until a horrific accident nearly killed him. Through seven years of recovery, he and his family scraped by, barely keeping their housing. In 2013, he started to look for work, but his entire industry had changed.

John needed a radical transformation to update his skills -- and combat the stigma of long-term unemployment. JVS’s 4-month Skills to Work in Technology program combined the technical and job search training he needed to become a Salesforce Certified Administrator. Recently, John secured his first full-time job in almost 10 years at MDLIVE, a leading telehealth provider.

TECH SUCCESS

Over 95% of graduates, like John, have passed the industry- recognized Salesforce administrator exam.

Nearly half of all JVS job seekers are long-term unemployed. Without our help, only one in ten1 are likely to ever return to full employment.

“ Being out of work for so long – it was totally isolating and discouraging. I knew that JVS would be the right place to re-skill and reinvent myself. ”

NEW PATHWAYS FOR YOUTHSince 1993, JVS has helped 6,000 youth to prepare for the world of work through training and paid work experience. Today, our strategy focuses on middle skill jobs – those that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a 4-year degree.

Today, nearly half of California jobs require middle skills.1

Working with more than 50 employers and education partners, JVS provides work experience that reinforces classroom learning and keeps students engaged in education. Our programs move youth on a path – from career awareness and work preparation to industry-specific training and living wage jobs.

Lombard Auto Body is a key partner that has provided 35 youth with career exposure and work experience in automotive technology. In June 2016, we added a new layer to this work by helping JVS youth with disabilities to enter a competitive summer program at Washington High School that pairs classroom training with work experience at both Lombard Auto Body and San Francisco Muni.

We’re excited to build out our work in automotive technology, along with our other pathways for youth in building trades, early child education and environmental technology.
