My first experience wasn't that great, but i'm glad I called back and spoke to someone else. The first time I called, I was transferred to a random staff member (older man) who was kind of rude. I called back a few days later and spoke to somebody who was really nice and I ended up going to orientation. I got some really great services through this work center. read more

I am beginning to believe that this is a scam. I applied for the work2future ran by equusworks.com last November, 2025 through the recommendation of one of their ETPL list De Anza College online courses. They got all my confidential information and until today, with almost every day follow up for 6 months, I am still in limbo and can't get the training that they promise. Tons of excuses for not getting me enrolled in one of their programs. I talked to Joanna, Joseph, Omar and their Supervisor copied on emails named Samantha. This organization is funded by Federal and I appeal for it to be investigated soonest. Today is April 1, 2026 and I am still not into any of their training programs. This organization seems like a big scam getting funds to keep their jobs and not for the mission of helping those who are unemployed. read more

Work2Future offers extremely poor services. I was promised that my course would be paid for, yet despite completing all the required steps, submitting all necessary documents, and investing my time and money, the payment was never made. It is unclear how Work2Future is utilizing government funding if the promised services are not being provided to those who genuinely need them. read more

This is the first time I have been compelled to write a review. This place is the true embodiment of wasteful government spending. This place is given funding to give the illusion that the government is trying to help the disenfranchised. They are accountable to no one "important" and it shows. Fourteen attempts at communication with my career counselors were outright ignored until I was finally enough of a bother to merit a response. I was then informed that my program had been dropped and to reach out to someone else. You'd think that maybe someone might think "Huh. Maybe we should inform the people enrolled in these programs that they got dropped from them instead of just ghosting them." I mean, that sounds like a much easier/more efficient/less demoralizing way of doing things to me. But what do I know? I'm not a government employee. read more

After having read one of the other reviews, I felt like I should write a review of my own. Yes, they are much worse than NOVA. The reason is that they only serve certain areas of which I am not a part of. It you live outside of San Jose or Campbell, they will advise you to go to NOVA. It happened to me many years ago when they used to be at the older location. It appears that they are still doing it. Another reason is what I experienced last month at their mini job fair. I say mini as it was mini job fair. Not enough employers. The person near the exit was rather rude. I told the person that I needed to step out for a moment to do something important and that I will be back. It is obvious that this have gotten worse and not better. If you are seeking work, I would advice to please go to NOVA in Sunnyvale. Yes, you can thank me later. read more

I walked into their office on Plumas since I was told it was walk in only only for the receptionist to be extremely rude and when she asked me what I wanted to do I said I don't know before I could finish she said rudely and yelling at me we are not good for you than we don't give people a list of places to work we just give you job skills and I tried to ask what job skills she said what career are you currently in I tried to say I'm not I'm trying to see what is there for me the receptionist cut me off so early and said go work at Walmart and told me to leave. read more

I got the schedule for the upcoming workshops and training - all free, I was interested in the Quick Books one so I called to reserve my spot but to my disappointment, I needed to see a "coach" to enroll so I made the effort to drive down here to have the coach enroll me. You park, you walk in, you check in w/ the receptionist (told her why I wanted to see a coach and the class I was interested in), you wait FOREVER even though if you look around, resources and available coaches were available but only one was actively working so I waited an hour just to find out that the class is filled. I find that the Campbell location is efficient because the front desk remains involved w/ the coaches, unlike this location. I will never come back. The environment here isn't as inviting as the other one and the computers (if you need to use the computers) are limited.. this branch is small but they are moving in the next few weeks so hopefully their process work flows improves. read more

Appointment 09/14 - Person did not call, no follow up scheduled, no apologies. Appointment again 09/20 - stood up again, no follow up no apologies. These people get paid regardless of how badly they do their job. Because the clients are poor they feel they can treat them like dirt. read more

I used to go to Work2Future many years ago when it was on Parkmoor and had a good time coming to use the services daily for the summer to take certification on MS Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007, as well as many other workshops. They were an OK experience. The teaching was friendly at the time for some workshops. Most recently this past year of 2012 until now, I've been going to Work2Future as a secondary center to get career advising and use the computers and printers for job search. Here's my experience and opinions on the current staff of the Foxworthy Avenue. Unfortunately, there are more Cons than Pros in my review. Pros: - The computer lab has a fairly reasonable amount of computers and printers for clients to use. Not as big as NOVA, but is reasonable. The times when I've gone, I haven't had an issue finding a computer to use for job search. There are printers and copy machines to use for job fair preparation. - Some staff that I've gotten to know over a long duration of time I have found to be friendly. The receptionists have been friendly. Charles, the Program Manager, has been very helpful and supportive in accommodation requests. I've been meeting with a talent coach/career counselor named Barbara and she has been friendly and positive. - I get useful e-mail notifications of events like job fairs and job postings that I can spread awareness to the family that are nice as being apart of their member program. Cons: - They lack anything close to high tech jobs. I've been monitoring their job leads over the course of the year as well as their onsite recruiting sponsored by employers and they primarily focus on retail and hospitality. So if you're a high tech person or technical person, it's going to be hard to find their resources helpful. It appears like the jobs they have are more for people coming out of high school than having a college degree. - The career counselors/talent coaches offer their business card in the initial meeting with them for any questions to send their way that they'll help answer, but they cause a lot of delays in which sometimes, after sending 2 reminders over the course of 2 weeks, you don't hear back at all, or it's rare that you do. They claim that it's because of their busy schedule, but they are at their desk frequently in the day with their inbox available for view and should be able to have time to knock some out here and there inbetween clients. I don't understand why it's a challenge. - I was very offended by a voice message left by one of their career counselors/talent coaches named Roger. I cannot upload it. In summary, he had not been returning my e-mails or voice messages in a timely manner and a simple request I had that takes less than half an hour dragged out to 2-3 weeks delay before he left a message with an excerpt of it below: "I don't know what part about don't expect anything or give me a demand that you don't understand. I told you I'll get to it when I can and that's what I'll do. Whether you have access to a printer or not is not my problem, it's yours. So I'm getting tired of you calling me and giving me demands to submit something to you, do you understand that? Please do, from here on" He was very rude and belittled me. I had to file a complaint and then change career counselors/talent coaches after that. - It's hard to book an appointment or reach a live person by phone. Most of my attempts reach voice mail and have to wait until the 1-2 days to get a call back. Sometimes it's a cat and mouse game of calling back and forth from missing each other which causes more delay and slots booked up in the process of getting both sides connected. I wish there was an online method of booking appointments or workshops without having to call them in all the time. Conclusion: So overall, I go here because I live in San Jose and this employment services center is in San Jose so it's convenient, but there are many problems addressed that need to be improved upon. If I could, I would go to NOVA more often which is why I rated this business the way I did because I've had a much better experience there than this place. read more

While this One Stop, no longer does "walk-in appointments" I appreciate the fact that you can make an appointment in advance and the customer service is pretty good here. Even though lay-offs suck (especially if they are through no fault of your own) you are not alone and the people at One Stop are incredibly non-judgmental and understanding. Whether you are super college educated, career changing or looking to update your skills, One Stop really does have something for everyone. Resume workshops, FREE resume consultation, computer classes, and offerings similar to AcademyX and your own personal talent coach to help guide you. Before paying for any training, I would recommend looking here first and seeing what you can get for free. While they make it perfect clear that they are NOT a "job placement" agency, they do everything in their power to connect you to the right free resources, Workforce Investment Act information and more to give you some more insights into your job search. read more

So far bad perception of this place. Orientation on January 30th still as of 2/9 no counseling/advisor appointment or classes. Just was rescheduled to February 14th. Wonder if they will reschedule that? No hurry here just trying to find training and or employment. read more

This place finds more ways of NOT GETTING THE JOB DONE. You are unemployed and desperate for work and these people drag their heals with useless classes and endless forms !!!! of course they are employed. read more

My daughter is employed by this program this summer and it has been an endless journey of working and not getting paid, not having the option to work at any of her 5 choice areas and being moved around to far distance locations. I am emailing the contacts and no one is responding. This program is under the umbrella of the City of San Jose so I know there had to be more integrity and legitimacy then is being demonstrated here. Let's see how far up this had to go before the paycheck issue is finally resolved. read more

I am a very patient person, but when it comes to the Foxworthy One Stop Center, I just plainly feel like commiting suicide. It took 3 days for them to return my phone call, then when I went for my orientation, the women I saw was late from lunch. During my appointment she had to step out twice to smoke, recieved a personal phone call then had a visit from a family member, just to say hello. This is all during my appointment. She set me up with a password to enter some availuable training, but it never worked. I was never able to log in, and when talking to her superior, he is worse. He does not follow up with what he said he would do. How did these people get placed in these jobs? They work for us, but seems they think they own the place. read more

this place has resources that could supplement part of the career-change process. A good place to go for a change in career. As this is the main training center, make all appointments and deadlines. read more

I think all those resume classes is wasting our time and City money .Resume writer is a job , I have no talent for that job and don't want to be trained to become an expert . I think they make all those pointless classes to get their money and almost forcing us to take all of them for a months long , instead of giving us a real help meeting us 1on1 resume writer . I don't feel they giving us enough help with evaluating our expertise level , and finding a job position for us. read more

This is a wonderful program and many dedicated people work to help those of us in the community who need a little bit of extra help. Thank you. read more

This place is a lie and bad service. The one in Campbell has a very rude guy at the front desk. He wont provide help for people in need of help and was very rude in answering my questions. In addition, I think he dislike people in general. The San Jose one does not offer funds for training even if you completed everything. The training coach is hard to reach. Basically, after you finished everything for training requirement, you will have to pray to God that they will contact you back. read more

Wrong address. They have moved from Parkmoor Ave S.J. now located at 1601 Foxworthy St, San Jose, (use to be called The Kirk Community Center). Maybe incorrect. Call them first. michael read more

My daughter signed up for job placement thru their youth program during the winter session and I have to say the extreme lack of organization on behalf of this program was completely unbelievable. We turned in all her paperwork as requested (ID, birth certificate, work permit, application, etc.) and waited for an orientation date. Orientation rolled around and we showed up along with many other kids & parents. Waited in line just to be told that they didn't have her paperwork therefore they couldn't have her for orientation and would have to wait till the next session during summer. Thanks guys! So now moving forward, summer session arrives and she's contacted to attend orientation. So again we turn in an updated work permit, attend orientation, etc. just to be told once again that they don't have a spot for her, they're full, and they'll see what they can do if they can place her in a job. Needless to say, she didn't get placed in any of her choices and rather than deal with the chaos of this program she is now babysitting for the summer Mon - Fri getting paid cash. Thanks for nothing Work2Future!! read more
