Teresa Ong is the Vice President, Workforce Innovation & Economic Development for Foothill College. She is driven by the personal experience of her father’s mid-career unemployment during her childhood. Witnessing the lack of resources to help her family, Teresa deeply understands the impact of workforce and career and technical education (CTE) programs. She is one of the architects of the Bay Area partnership, helping diverse students launch careers in cloud computing through a partnership with Amazon Web Services. Teresa is committed to creating educational access to quality jobs, especially for adults and mid-career professionals.

Teresa oversees workforce development, adult education, apprenticeship, community/ contract education, career & technical education as well as the the Sunnyvale Center.
