Goodwill Industries celebrated their graduation on March 27, 2014 and presented Skyline College Warehousing Certificates at their San Francisco headquarters. Alpha Lewis, Warehousing Instructor presented the certificates to our spring 2014 cohort. Skyline College’s Business Division and Workforce Development partnership with Goodwill Industries awards certificates in Warehousing and Logistics to students wishing to reenter the workforce. For many of the Goodwill students, this is their first time entering a college environment.

As a result of the partnership, graduates are encouraged to enroll in the Career Advancement Academy. Students are currently enrolled in the Allied Health Bridge Program and the Entry Level Automotive Career Advancement Academies. Career Advancement Academies (CAA) provides stackable certificates on Auto Entry Level Technician and Allied Health (EMT, Medical Office Assistant, and Sterile Processing, Early Childhood Education and Paralegal).
