The CalWORKs Assessment Office at Delta College helps students receiving CalWORKs benefits identify their strengths, interests, and career goals through personalized assessments. The office provides guidance on educational pathways, career planning, and support services to ensure students succeed in both college and the workplace. By connecting students with the right resources and opportunities, the CalWORKs Assessment Office plays a key role in helping families achieve self-sufficiency through education and training.

The main goal of the CalWORKs program is to move recipients from welfare into work. The CalWORKs Assessment Program is designed to test the interests, aptitudes and skill levels of CalWORKs participants to assist in the development of an employment plan needed by San Joaquin County Human Services Agency (HSA). Persons receiving aid from the county welfare department, known as TANF (Temporary Aid for Needy Families), who do not obtain employment after completion of job club or job search activities are required to complete an assessment test. We see clients via referral ONLY from the client's CalWORKs case manager.
