CalJOBS registration means creating a free account on CalJOBS, California's online system for job listings and workforce services. You go to the official CalJOBS website, create an individual account, and fill in your contact details, work history and job goals.
Many free job training programs for adults in California, including WIOA-funded training, ask you to register on CalJOBS first. If you live in San Bernardino or anywhere in the Inland Empire, this guide walks you through it.
What Is CalJOBS?
CalJOBS is the state's online workforce system. Job seekers use it to search for jobs, post a resume and connect with America's Job Centers of California. Staff at those centers also use it to track services and training.
Because screens and steps can change, always follow the instructions on the official CalJOBS website at caljobs.ca.gov. If you get stuck, ask your local America's Job Center of California for help.
Before You Start CalJOBS Registration
Gather a few things first so you can finish in one sitting:
- An email address you check often
- Your phone number and mailing address
- Your work history, including job titles, employers and rough dates
- Your education and any certificates
- A resume, if you have one (you can also build one in CalJOBS)
Use a private computer or phone if you can. Keep your username and password somewhere safe, and never share your password with anyone.
Step-by-Step: How to Register on CalJOBS
- Go to the official site. Type caljobs.ca.gov into your browser. Make sure you are on the real state site.
- Choose to create an account as an individual or job seeker. Employers have a separate sign-up.
- Create your login. Pick a username and a strong password, and set up any security questions.
- Enter your personal information. This usually includes your name, contact details and some background questions.
- Add your education and work history. Be honest and as complete as you can.
- Build or upload a resume. CalJOBS has tools to help you create one.
- Set your job preferences. Choose the kinds of jobs and locations you want, such as San Bernardino.
- Save and review. Check your profile for typos before you finish.
Tips for a Strong CalJOBS Profile
- Use a simple, professional email address.
- List skills employers look for, like customer service, computer skills or bilingual skills.
- Keep your profile up to date when you finish training or get a certificate.
- Log in often to check messages and new job matches.
A complete profile helps staff understand your goals. That matters when they review you for services like the WIOA Dislocated Worker program for dislocated workers, or training for adults.
