The CalWORKs Program provides educational support and resources to help students obtain the skills needed to be placed in and retain family supporting employment.  

Students currently served are: CalWORKs participants and students receiving Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) cash aid.

Supportive services include: Academic and career counseling, priority registration, book vouchers, child care support, and job readiness skills. Counseling services include assistance with welfare-to-work plans, education plans and 32/35 hour weekly schedules. We provide coordinated referrals to both on-campus and community resources such as: Catholic Charities, VTA Outreach and the Career Closet. In addition, CalWORKs offers on-campus work study positions in collaboration with other departments.

Students new to CalWORKs, please see the New Student Checklist.

• Determine an educational goal and outline an educational plan
• Demonstrate job readiness skills through on-campus or off-campus employment (for county referred non-SIP students)
• Successfully complete the program as defined by the Santa Clara County Department of Social Services
