UCSF is the second largest employer in San Francisco and is committed to providing jobs to local residents.
To this end, UCSF has implemented various workforce development programs including:
- A Community Outreach Internship Program
- UCSF Employer Days (which connect local jobseekers with UCSF hiring managers)
- Local construction hiring goals
The Community Outreach Internship Program (COIP) includes a 10-week job-skills training class, followed by a four-month internship at UCSF. Interns gain work experience and learn about performance standards, communication systems, technology, and more. They earn competitive wages and receive benefits that allow them to move towards self-sufficiency.
The program focuses on residents of disadvantaged San Francisco neighborhoods. Most interns have no prior formal employment experience in administrative positions and are seeking long-term employment. They are recruited from various community training programs and agencies.
COIP is a collaborative effort between UCSF’s Interim Staffing Program, UCSF’s Office of Community and Government Relations, and various UCSF Human Resources departments.
UCSF’s Employer Days events provide a forum in which community jobseekers and UCSF’s departmental hiring managers can meet face-to-face in small group sessions. During these events, which take place at various locations throughout San Francisco, UCSF hiring managers provide an overview of their department and the general qualifications and backgrounds they look for in potential new hires. Employer Days also allow jobseekers to ask questions and have their resumes reviewed by the hiring managers to find out how they can best position themselves as candidates.
As the second largest employer in the city and a major factor in the health of the city’s overall economy, UCSF recognizes that the construction of the UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay can financially benefit the neighborhoods around the campus, and the entire city.
UCSF will work with DPR Construction, Inc., the project’s general contractor, to ensure that qualified San Francisco
residents—particularly those from neighborhoods closest to the project site—have access to the Mission Bay hospitals’ construction jobs.
UCSF’s goals are to:
- strengthen Mission Bay’s economic contributions to the community,
- increase employment opportunities for San Francisco residents, and
- engage local unions in innovative partnerships
UCSF is voluntarily committing to establish a threshold for local hiring goals that is compatible with the standards recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco.
