Application Status: Open until sufficient applications are received

Position Purpose

The Police Cadet Internship aims to provide residents of the Oakland Housing Authority with valuable work experience for a duration of up to 12 months. This internship is designed to equip residents with hands-on training in various clerical and some paraprofessional tasks within the Oakland Housing Authority Police Department, as well as across different departments within the Authority.

  • Education: High school diploma or GED with a minimum GPA of 2.0.
  • Enrollment: Must be enrolled in a college or trade school with a minimum course load of 12 units or equivalent.
Selection Process

Applicants who meet the Cadet Program requirements will be invited to participate in an oral examination. A List of Qualifiers will be created, and interviews will follow. Several candidates will be selected for internship roles.

As a Cadet, you will be classified as a temporary employee, working no more than 20 hours per week. Part-time employees are not entitled to holiday pay, vacation leave, health benefits, retirement benefits, or life insurance. Part-time employees are allowed up to three (3) sick days per year.

Upon successful completion of the program, Cadets may be considered for re-assignment, promotions if qualifications are met, and other entry-level positions within the Authority. This experience will also provide Cadets with the skills necessary to pursue job opportunities in both public and private sectors.

Application Instructions

To apply for this position, candidates must complete an online employment application. This recruitment will continue until the position is filled.

Important Information for Applicants

We appreciate your interest in employment with the Oakland Housing Authority.

To apply, please ensure that you submit a completed online application by the specified deadline. A current, detailed resume may be attached but will not substitute for a completed application.

All applications and resumes will undergo a thorough screening process. Candidates whose qualifications closely align with the position requirements will be invited to participate in the examination process. Successful candidates will have their names placed on a List of Qualifiers, from which appointments will be made. For certain positions, an experience/training rating and/or written evaluation may replace the oral examination. Verification of college degrees or units required for the position will occur prior to final appointment. If verification cannot be completed, the candidate's name will not be placed on the List of Qualifiers. All appointments are subject to the approval of the Executive Director.

All prospective employees must successfully pass a physical examination and drug screening conducted by an Authority-designated physician. A pre-employment criminal history background check will also be performed for all positions. For roles requiring the use of an Authority vehicle, candidates' driving records will be evaluated prior to appointment. To qualify for appointment, candidates must possess a valid California Class C driver's license and maintain a driving record acceptable to the Authority's insurer. Additionally, all prospective employees must provide proof of American citizenship or legal resident status and the legal right to work in the United States.
