Words from our partners

“We want [our apprentices] to be taking coursework that will help them get to that next step, so that we’re not only solving for a production-hiring need, but we’re helping an individual find their path to another role at Tesla or another education opportunity. Either way, we’re providing a solution for them to earn and learn. … And we keep our talent local, and grow it from within.”

Emily Webb • Tesla Senior Project Manager, Workforce Development + Education

“Knit is involved on several fronts to try to create the next generation of architects and engineers. We get to see the students grow, and sometimes they come back to us. … When they’re successful, it puts a warm light in our hearts to know that we were part of that path.”

Michelle Duranleau • Knit Studios Lead Architect

“It’s a win-win—We hire, train, and equip students with certifications that will make them useful in the workforce. … When I see students go from never having written a line of code to building their own projects from scratch, it is so rewarding. I feel like a proud tech mama.”

Duana Malone • Nevada Help Desk President + CEO

“Reaching the goal of completing my CNA apprenticeship has been amazing. Because of [TMCC’s program], I could go back to school and bring in money for my family. If it wasn’t for this program I don’t think I would be a nurse. My kids are proud of me.”

Nafisha Sheldon • Renown Health Registered Nurse
