East Ventura County Employer Advisory Council EVCEAC

Background

The East Ventura County Employer Advisory Council (EVCEAC) has supported the California Employment Development Department (EDD) since 1981. The EVCEAC is the largest employer organization in the East Ventura County area. We are proud of the success of our organization and continue to provide ongoing support to the EDD, our employer community, and the local community.

What we do

The EAC is a cross-section of local employers throughout the Eastern Ventura county area. We help educate employers about relevant employment issues and related legal concerns. We focus on what most employers are looking for, the 'nuts and bolts' information to running a business and keeping in compliance with Federal and State regulations. We present this information in an informative manner, by local, well-respected guest speakers. Participants are encouraged to participate in the Q&A session at the end of each meeting.

We partner with the EDD to increase cooperation and communication between the EDD and the private sector, and identify ways to improve EDD services. We also assist employers in their efforts to give back to their communities by advocating local workforce development efforts.

The purpose of the East Ventura County EAC is to interface with the California Employment Development Department to:

• Present luncheon and half day seminar programs on current employment law issues.
• Provide local employers with the opportunity to network and share ideas and solutions to the concerns and problems facing California employers.
• Keep EDD's Job Service Program responsive to the needs of the business community.
• Act as a sounding board for proposed and ongoing EDD policies, programs and procedures

East Ventura County Employer Advisory Council is a past State and National Award Recipient
