About Us
The Career Institute is a Career, Education and Life Planning Company that was established in
1994. Our mission is to help young emerging adults between the ages of 18-21 make the transition
into adulthood. We currently do this work through the framework of the Federally Funded Workforce
Investment Act and under the direction of the County of San Bernardino's Workforce Development
Department. The company has a long track record of work with young adults and seeks community
partnerships to accomplish their goals. The work in 2009 was to put 475 young adults to work in
summer jobs under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus Package) and to start
209 young adults on a two year program to assist them with basic skills, help them attain a
marketable skill and industry recognized certificate and to help them to become skilled workers in
the workplace. We are ready to launch the same two programs for this upcoming year.
About our Work Ethic and Company Culture
The Career Institute expects the best. We have a vision to become the best youth provider in the
County of San Bernardino for this kind of work. We have created a company that expects high
quality in the delivery of services, collaboration and team work on the part of employees, an
energetic work environment and support to get the work done. We thrive on innovation and new
ideas being brought to the workplace by all members of the team. We have a continuous
improvement attitude for our employees, our management and the students we serve. We deliver
engaging, relevant Career Mentoring to young adults that are ready to make big changes in their
lives and take big steps toward the future.
