About Us
Our staff, advisory board, and supporters
“I took a new position in January 2023, in the middle of the CSA program, and relocated to Columbus, Ohio. The program helped to prepare me for my new job and provided me with the information needed to make an easy transition.”
— Marc McPherson, CSA Alum ’23
A remarkable team supports Career Skills Academy students and is committed to helping CUNY SPH students advance in their careers.
