Find out how NOVA can help you.
NOVA has services available at no cost to the general public, as well as additional no-fee services available to those who meet certain eligibility requirements. You may also be eligible to receive re-employment services at no charge if your former employer is participating in NOVA's Rapid Response program.
CONNECT! is a good place to start. NOVA co-sponsors this comprehensive self-help center, a collaborative of over 30 workforce development agencies. Here you'll find the tools you need for a successful job search.
Just drop on by 420 S. Pastoria Avenue, in the EDD building (adjacent to NOVA's Sunnyvale offices) — no appointment is necessary. For more information, call the CONNECT! Job Seeker Center at 408-774-2365.
