 City of Torrance Management Aide/Assistant Program (MAP) Domenica Megerdichian Deputy City Manager for the City of South Pasadena, CA said "The Management Aide program was a deep-dive and practicum in professional leadership, local government leadership and management. I learned to work smart and take on challenges, to create strong teams and interdepartmental efforts to tap into various skills and perspectives, to be confident in what I bring to the table and to employ a solutions-based approach to whatever project or problem-no matter how big or small".

 City of Torrance Management Aide/Assistant Program (MAP) Carlo Santiago Administrative Assistant for the City of Torrance, CA said "My experience as an intern for the City of Torrance was amazing. As a management aide within the General Services Department, I was able to rotate between two divisions, Fleet Services and the Torrance Airport, every other week. I was able to learn so much from each division and got to work in two different work environments. Seeing the day-to-day operations at each of these divisions was extremely rewarding, as I got to understand fleet management and aviation much more than before my internship".
