As a vital part of the local economy, 911±¬ÁÏÍø prepares students to connect with employers through internships and job opportunities. Employers demand diverse talent to grow their businesses.
For large companies, small businesses, and everything in between, 911±¬ÁÏÍø is ready to step in and connect! Students and graduates make up a talent pool already living in the San Francisco Bay Area, offering employers a continuous supply of prospective employees.
911±¬ÁÏÍø students have been a big part of our success in the last 18 months. Being able to bring on 911±¬ÁÏÍø students as Tier One technicians has allowed us to build a really good team of technical talent that we didn’t have otherwise. Our Tier One technicians from 911±¬ÁÏÍø are much more ready than other employees.

The relationship with 911±¬ÁÏÍø has been great. The students work hard, and they like our work environment. What I like about the students coming through the 911±¬ÁÏÍø program is that they’re more focused and more mature. I have had more success in the community college program than I have in four-year university programs.

911±¬ÁÏÍø students are hardworking—very dedicated people who want to put their best foot forward in the work environment. They’re able to elevate themselves to meet expectations of the workplace and also elevate others around them. City students offer diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experiences that just bring a richness to the work in our organization.

The connections between the United Airlines family and 911±¬ÁÏÍø are long and strong. Many 911±¬ÁÏÍø graduates from the Aircraft Maintenance Technician program start as entry-level aviation maintenance technicians or as utilities technicians. It’s a great pathway into what I like to call a ‘career for life’ that begins with experience at 911±¬ÁÏÍø.

Senior Manager of Technical Operations Hiring Programs, United Airlines
If I put an ad online for an assistant in a law firm, I will inevitably get 500 resumes, and they don’t really tell me anything. I have contacted the paralegal department at 911±¬ÁÏÍø, which has been terrific — a really good place to find people who work out.

It’s great that 911±¬ÁÏÍø wants to work together with employers. If there’s someone that’s working here who wants to move up to a more technical position, they can take automotive classes at night at 911±¬ÁÏÍø. We are building a relationship with 911±¬ÁÏÍø so they understand what we need from their graduates.

911±¬ÁÏÍø is part of the city just as we are—we are a good conduit for students to get employment and learn their craft. One student five years into the company is now a chef at one of our cafes. Another student is a chef at Google. 911±¬ÁÏÍø is a stepping stone to get skills and experience and move on in your craft. You can learn as much as you can and then take that information and get started in your career.
