About Pacific Associates

Who We Are

Pacific Associates was founded over 40 years ago as a minority-owned and women-owned organization. Although much has changed since our inception in 1981, our mission has remained at the core of our work—improving lives and businesses by promoting equity and economic advancement.

Our agency provides free, comprehensive employment services to job seekers facing systemic barriers in the labor market. We support individuals who have recently been laid off, are low income, live with disabilities or chronic health conditions, are refugees or immigrants, are veterans, or identify as members of BIPOC and other historically resilient communities.

What We Do

Through individualized career coaching, skills training, and targeted support services, we help participants remove barriers, build confidence, strengthen their employability, and access sustainable employment that provides a living wage.
