Workforce Development
Our workforce development programs starts with teens and continues through early adulthood and elders. We provide the critical support and resources our community needs to gain a job or move up in their career or current employment.
Annual Shadow Day
Founded in 1994, Shadow Day has been a pillar of YWCA Berkeley/Oakland’s community services for over 30 years. It is an annual in-person event that occurs in the Spring and brings together community organizations, UC Berkeley departments, clubs, and students, as well as YWCA Staff and Program Members.
Career Coaching
Whether starting a new career or looking to advance in a current one, career coaching helps participants identify the role that’s most fulfilling for them — and provides the resources and guidance to pursue it.
Weekly workshops and personalized 1:1 counseling are available to all. To book a session with Claire Marchiano, our NBCC-certified Career Counselor, please email her directly. You can also learn more about Claire at this site.
English in Action
EIA has proudly served UC Berkeley international scholars/students and their family members for over 50 years. Starting this semester, we are restructuring our services and will be primarily focused on supporting asylum seekers, recent immigrants, and university service workers whose first language is not English.
Each 1:1 session is focused on improving competency and fluency in the English language, with an exchange of culture built into the casual conversations.

Durante más de 50 años, EIA ha servido con orgullo a académicos/estudiantes internacionales de UC Berkeley y a sus familiares. Sin embargo, a partir de este semestre, estamos reestructurando nuestros servicios y nos enfocaremos principalmente en apoyar a solicitantes de asilo, inmigrantes recientes y trabajadores de servicios universitarios cuya lengua materna no es el inglés.
Cada sesión individual se centra en mejorar la competencia y la fluidez en el idioma inglés, incorporando un intercambio cultural en las conversaciones informales.
