Students who enroll in this ten-week collaborative offering receive four units of college credit, attend an all-day orientation at Skyline College, receive an OSHA 10 and Forklifting Certification, participate in skill building workshops, and get hands-on, work-based learning experiences at Goodwill Industries warehousing facilities in San Francisco and Burlingame. This program receives generous support from The Bay Area Workforce Funding Collaborative, an initiative of The San Francisco Foundation and nationally recognized collaborative which seeks to enhance economic competitiveness and reduce poverty by strengthening the ability of the workforce development system to meet the needs of employers and low-skilled adults.
Past Domestic Warehousing and Logistics students have continued their educational journeys as full-time Skyline College students and entered into the Automotive Entry Level Technician and Allied Health Career Advancement Academies as well as the Center for Innovative Practices in Hip Hop Education Research (CIPHER) program.
The Career Advancement Academy (CAA) provides stackable certificates in Automotive Entry Level Technician, Early Childhood Education Foundations, Legal Careers and Allied Health (EMT, Medical Office Administration, and Sterile Processing).
