SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sprint (NYSE:S) continues to expand its presence and investment in Northern California with plans to add more than 300 new jobs and 43 new retail locations throughout the area by the end of 2017. The new jobs will include a combination of retail, operations and technical experts. Currently, Sprint counts more than 860 employees and operates more than 170 branded retail locations throughout the Northern California region.
“We are making an aggressive push to expand on the local level, making it easier for wireless shoppers to save with Sprint’s tremendous value for unlimited data, talk and text,” said Suehyun Johan Chung, Sprint Regional President for Northern California. “With our continued network improvements and charitable efforts like the 1Million Project, Sprint continually seeks opportunities to give back locally by providing free devices and service to help high school students in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley complete their homework. The 1Million Project is a noteworthy avenue for our employees and customers to make a difference in our communities.”
Previously in July 2016, Sprint donated approximately $1 million in devices and service to help further the educational and employment opportunities for 500 City of Oakland, CA young adults as part of the Sprint for ConnectED program, and partnership with My Brother’s Keeper Alliance (MBKA) – a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving life outcomes for boys and men of color.
