Job-To-Job Program

The SEIU-UHW & Joint Employer Education Fund is here for you. Through our Job-to-Job program, the Education Fund offers tools and support to guide eligible learners through a reduction in force (RIF) transition.

We provide customized, confidential, and convenient on-site services and resources so that learners can transition to new positions.

Job-To-Job Notification

The Ed Fund should be notified of an upcoming RIF: Education Fund Career Counselors will lead a group orientation for participating learners to provide information, comprehensive resources, referrals to assist in their job search, and available training programs.

Job-To-Job Eligibility

Who is eligible?

  • Full- and part-time learners who have completed their probationary period and
    those who are “on call,” “per-diem,” “services-as-needed” or “short-hour” workers and have worked a minimum of two shifts each month, for the most recent six months. Learners must have layoff or redeployment documentation from their employer.
  • Learners must enroll in the Job-to-Job program within 60 days of notification of layoff.
  • Learners who accept a severance package may no longer be eligible for Job-to-Job Benefits. Please discuss with an Ed Fund Career Counselor.

Who is not eligible?

  • Learners currently on unpaid leave. (Administrative, Disability, Parental, etc.)
  • Learners who obtain a new position that is permanent AND benefitted, AND the base wage is equal to or greater than the previous salary OR if new position pays less than previous position wage/salary, it cannot be less than 5% of previous wage/salary.

Job-To-Job Training Options

All learners must apply to the Job-to-Job Program by meeting with their assigned Career Counselor, before training begins. Learners should contact their assigned Counselor via email, phone or text. All contact information for a learner’s Career Counselor is located on their MyEdFund portal homepage once they are registered.

Eligible RIF learners can receive financial support for short-term and in-demand training programs.

Types of financial support available:

OPTION 1: The learner may be reimbursed for a portion of wages missed to attend an accredited training program. Up to 500 hours may be reimbursed and these payments may affect Unemployment Benefits.

OR

OPTION 2: The learner may be reimbursed (up to $5000) for tuition, books, and fees for an accredited training program.

In addition, the Education Fund may offer customized training to a group of RIF learners. These short-term classes can assist those with the skills and training needed to obtain a new position/classification.
