Employment and Workforce Support: In Partnership with EDD
We are proud to partner with the California Employment Development Department (EDD) to help small businesses and their employees better understand the resources available to support work, life, and business in California. Whether you’re an employer navigating workforce needs or a worker facing a job transition, family care, or a health challenge, EDD provides a range of benefits and services that may help you.
EDD resources are available in multiple languages. Use the “Help” Chatbot on edd.ca.gov for support in your language.
