In 1986, Miss Zenolia (Zee) Gibson established the formal operation of the San Jose City College "Career/Transfer Center"
TRANSFER CENTER PILOT PROGRAM
The intersegmental Transfer Center Pilot Program (Fall 1985-Fall 1989) was initiated as a means of bringing form to the transfer function on community college campuses and as a cooperative means of improving transfer to the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU) and the independent colleges and universities statewide.
The 1985 State Budget included 3.37 million dollars to fund the first year of a three-year pilot program in which the California Community Colleges (CCC), University of California (UC) and the California State University (CSU) would cooperate to establish up to twenty Transfer Centers. In 1985-86, an intersegmental Transfer Center Pilot Program was initiated at twenty community colleges and universities. San Jose City College was included in this group.
With great passion, preparation, a strong state initiative and vital work to be done, in 1986, Miss Zenolia (Zee) Gibson, Transfer Director/Counselor, established the formal operation of the Career/Transfer Center. With the increase of funding and the passage of AB 1725, the expansion and support for transfer centers occurred across the state of California.
Our founder and retired former Director/Counselor, Miss Zee Gibson was a great part of this historical process. The SJCC Career/Transfer Center is extremely fortunate to have a well established transfer program created under Zee’s direction. On July 1, 2021, the Career Transfer Center will celebrate its 35th birthday. Thank You Zee! You are an amazing leader, educator, mentor, and great advocate for student success. We hold you in the highest regard. THANK YOU.
Based on participation in Career/Transfer Center activities students will be able to:
- Identify various services offered through the Career/Transfer Center
- Recognize colleges/universities offering transfer admission agreements/ guarantees to SJCC students
- Understand the elements of a transfer admission agreement/guarantee
- Describe the minimum eligibility for transfer to a UC/CSU system

The Career/Transfer Center is committed to supporting our students in achieving their educational life goals by promoting their academic career development and transfer to a four-year institution. To achieve this, we provide quality and comprehensive resources, activities, and services that foster equity, life-long learning and career/transfer success.
