The Boeing Company has renewed its support for an innovative jobs-placement initiative at 色情视频, announcing a $100,000 contribution for the Troops to Engineers program. This gift represents the fourth consecutive year of support for the program, which provides assistance for military veterans studying engineering at 色情视频. 

鈥淏oeing has a long-standing commitment to supporting men and women in uniform and military families by employing more than 20,000 veterans who are continuing their mission with Boeing.鈥 said Ward Wilson, director of the aerospace company鈥檚 San Diego office.

Established at 色情视频 in 2011, Troops to Engineers was introduced to address both a high unemployment rate for veterans and a nationwide shortage of experienced engineers. It was originally funded by an Office of Naval Research grant and has since been funded by philanthropic support of which Boeing has been a leading champion.    
According to College of Engineering Dean Eugene Olevsky, one in 15 engineers in the U.S. is educated through the CSU system. 鈥淲e thank Boeing for their generous support which truly makes an impact for students in the college, the San Diego industry, nationally and around the world,鈥 Olevsky said.
Members of the program鈥檚 staff work with students to help them secure paid internships that often lead to first jobs, and assist them in preparing for job placement before graduating.  
Troops to Engineers has a 100% employment placement rate for its students in a field where their skills are in short supply. 鈥淥ur events and workshops equip student veterans with the necessary tools to successfully enter the workforce,鈥 said Elisa East, Troops to Engineers coordinator and an Army veteran. 鈥淓mployers know when they hire a veteran, they are getting someone who will be committed to getting the job done.鈥
