Employment Services

We see employment as a fundamental right for LGBTQ+ individuals to increase financial health and build assets over time. We offer various virtual and in-person services, events, and workshops tailored to support participants’ job searches, networking opportunities with potential employers, and connect to further training opportunities.

Geared towards LGBTQ+ job seekers, stay up to date on upcoming virtual and in-person services, workshops, and events designed to support job search efforts, skill development, and provide networking opportunities with potential employers. We’ll keep you updated on the latest job openings, training opportunities, job fairs, and employer spotlight sessions.

If you’re looking for full-time employment, please book an appointment with us! Our services include career exploration, resume modification, LinkedIn assistance, training on job search methods, interview preparation, and support with job applications.

This year, we’re offering hybrid services to better meet your needs! If of interest, your assigned Employment Services specialist will be able to meet virtually or in person at the Center.

In-person drop-in space for LGBTQ+ job seekers to meet with Center Employment Specialists, recruiters, and industry experts in various industries, including tech, education, and banking.

Areas we can support with include:

• Resume creation/review
• LinkedIn Profile creation/review
• Interview prep

Thursdays from 12 – 1:30 PM 

The Trans Employment Program (TEP) at the SF LGBT Center is a unique, collaborative program designed to help create inclusive workplaces and jobs for trans* people. TEP provides a wide range of services, including job referrals and career coaching; navigating being out at work or transitioning on the job; resume review and managing references; hiring and community events; and legal services.

TEP is the first city-funded program addressing economic and employment barriers for transgender and nonbinary community members.

We’ve historically hosted one of the largest TLGBQ career fairs in the country, and we are excited to be able to bring this event back after a three-year hiatus! We showcase leading Bay Area employers from a wide range of industries who are dedicated to providing and learning to provide safer and more supportive workplace environments for the TLGBQ community as well as opportunities for gainful employment.

Stay tuned for upcoming fairs!
