Why Job Training Matters in Chino Hills
Chino Hills, incorporated in 1991, is home to an estimated 77,519 residents (U.S. Census, 2025 estimate). Residents are highly educated: 93.2% of adults 25 and older have a high school diploma and 48.1% hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The median household income is $126,334, but 7.6% of residents still live in poverty (U.S. Census QuickFacts, 2020–2024 ACS).
Chino Hills is also strikingly international. About 41.0% of residents are Asian, 27.3% are Hispanic or Latino, 34.0% were born outside the U.S., and nearly half, 49.7%, speak a language other than English at home. Commutes are long, averaging 36.1 minutes, and 97.5% of households have a broadband internet subscription (U.S. Census QuickFacts).
Because Chino Hills is largely residential, its biggest local employers are schools and retail. The city's 2020 financial report lists Chino Valley Unified School District (3,350 employees) far ahead of Costco (340), Lowe's (265), Boys Republic (264), the City of Chino Hills (229), Albertsons, Kaiser Permanente Laboratory, Chino Valley Fire District, 99 Ranch Market and Harkins Theaters. For many residents, career growth means building a business, leading a team or adding a skill that sets them apart.

Language, Leadership and Business Skills for a Global Community
In a city where nearly half of residents speak a second language at home and almost half of adults hold a degree, the most valuable training is often not entry-level. Our eight-week Conversational Mandarin course helps professionals and business owners communicate in one of the world's most widely spoken languages. Our Public Speaking & Communication Lab helps multilingual professionals present with confidence. And for residents with business ambitions, our Entrepreneurship workshops and Government Contracting Academy explain how to register on SAM.gov, pursue certifications and write proposals for public agency work. Parents can also enroll their teens in our free Future Leaders Academy or our youth prevention program, which teaches fentanyl awareness and how to respond with naloxone.
