Interns Move LA

William Tate's hard work has taught him to value the relationships he creates at MTA.

Transportation is imperative to the City of Los Angeles. With a population of more than 3 million individuals living in the city, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has a large role in connecting people to destinations throughout LA.

Aside from providing public transportation, the MTA has partnered with the HIRE LA’s Youth Program to place 150 youth interns in jobs this summer.

William Tate is one of those interns. His internship has taught him the value of networking. The 17-year-old says, “Working here has given me a different perspective on how I present myself in front of people.”

William’s supervisor Geri Brodie praised his work and says, “He has so much to offer; I would be glad to hire him if he came back.”

William’s hard work has taught him to value the relationships he creates at MTA. He says, “I’ve learned that respect is important no matter where you go and it is something I’m taking with me.”
