With 36,000 students and about 4,000 of them living on campus, the city of San Jose is welcoming San Jose State students to come and work with them.
"We’re excited! It’s a pipeline for our students to go into public service. It’s an opportunity to partner with the City of San Jose in the ways that we do with so many things. It’s a chance to prove once again that our San Jose State students are a workforce in not only Silicon Valley but now possibly, right in City Hall," said Smith McDonald.
"I think it’s great honestly. If there are opportunities for students to stay close to school. Learn and not have to worry about like a 20-minute commute because a lot of students have to unfortunately work and do school at the same time," said Dean Acosta, who graduated from San Jose State in 2021.
"Our students weren’t in their classrooms for a very long time. A lot of them were going home to wherever they came from San Jose State. They were taking jobs in their local area, whether they were doing hybrid work while they were doing their classes. But we have a lot of students that just left the area," said Smith McDonald.
