Is there job placement assistance for sex offenders in san diego ca?

• Answer:

  There is no specific assistance for a SO in San Diego, there may assistance if the person is on probation or parole depending on their officer/agent and services available at their office (most parole offices have a job counselor for parolees, but not specifically for SO's). The Employment Development Department (EDD -state employment) offers services to ex-felons (if the SO in question has a felony conviction) and some have a counselor dedicated to ex-felons. Some private job agencies work well with, again. ex-felons and not specifically SO's, and may be helpful. A lot is going to depend on the qualifications of the person, the history and time-frame of the offense(s) and most importantly how the person presents his/herself at the job interview and deals with (explains) the offense(s) history. In other words, attitude, is a big factor in getting employed. It is difficult, especially as laws become more restrictive and punitive, to stay positive and gain employment, but it can happen. Stay strong and don't give up.
