A personal career counselor
for every San Diegan.
Careerpath365 provides AI-powered career guidance grounded in San Diego County's workforce resources. Every San Diegan can build a plan, explore training, and prepare for work around the clock.
Historic employer investment, one appointment at a time.
Naval shipbuilding and defense contractors, the Torrey Pines life-sciences cluster, and a fast-growing clean-energy sector are reshaping the labor market across the City of San Diego, South Bay, East County, and North County. SDWP staff are skilled — but caseloads make sustained one-to-one guidance nearly impossible, and residents navigate WIOA programs, San Diego Community College District certificates, and employer hiring requirements on their own.
Career guidance can be difficult to access around work and family schedules. Careerpath365 helps South Bay and Southeastern San Diego job seekers, transitioning service members and military spouses, refugees and immigrants, and justice-involved residents get practical next steps whenever they are ready.
"Every San Diegan deserves practical career guidance when they need it."
Five capabilities, one intelligent layer.
Careerpath365 can connect with America's Job Center of California's existing case management and WIOA reporting workflows while keeping local programs and guidance specific to San Diego County.

Sixteen weeks from kickoff to production. Zero disruption to America's Job Center of California operations. Full data ownership retained by the County.
More residents served, with the team you already have.
Careerpath365 gives every resident in San Diego County an AI career counselor available 24/7 — while your case managers gain a caseload tool that triages, documents, and follows up for them. Here is what that means in practice.
What residents get — in every neighborhood
- A personalized career plan built in minutes, not weeks — based on their goals, experience, schedule, and barriers.
- Funded training programs they qualify for, with the paperwork path explained step by step.
- A professional resume and interview practice built from their real background.
- Job search and application tracking in one place, so momentum is never lost between visits.
- Veteran, reentry, and second-chance resources mapped to local providers.
Residents who never walk into an office — shift workers, caregivers, people with transportation barriers — finally get career help on their own terms.
How it fits the workflow you already run
- Residents complete intake and skills assessment online before their first appointment, so staff start every meeting with a full picture.
- Case managers see a live caseload dashboard: who is stuck, who needs a nudge, who is ready for a referral — prioritized automatically.
- Training-program and employer referrals happen inside the portal, with each step logged against the resident's record.
- Outcome reporting (placements, credentials, retention) rolls up automatically for WIOA and board reporting.
- Data stays with the County — export, audit, and retention follow your policies.
No rip-and-replace: it layers on top of your current case-management tools and intake forms.
more residents served per case manager
The AI handles first contact, career planning, resume building, and routine questions around the clock. Your staff spend their hours on the residents who genuinely need a human: complex barriers, funding decisions, and employer relationships. Same headcount, several times the throughput.
resident satisfaction scores
Residents get instant answers at midnight, progress they can see, and shorter waits for staff time. That shows up directly in your client-satisfaction and follow-up survey numbers — the metrics your board and federal funders review.
See it on your own residents' journey
