Programs for Our Students
Pre-College Programs
Pre-college programs are educational programs designed to prepare high school students for college-level coursework and provide them with exposure to college life. These programs may include academic courses, workshops, seminars and extracurricular activities designed to help students develop skills and knowledge essential for their future college studies. They may be offered during the summer or throughout the academic year and may focus on specific subjects or academic areas, such as STEM or the humanities. Additionally, some programs provide a broader overview of college life and academics. Students interested in applying for pre-college programs may receive application support from the Director of Career and Life Success. Support includes: essay and short answer editing, material gathering (transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) and serving as liaison between the program and student.
Guest Speakers
Guest speakers provide students with real-world life experiences, bridging the gap between the classroom and the workplace. They provide insight into different industries and career paths, as well as suggestions for curricular and co-curricular paths to help them achieve their goals. View our list of guest speakers.
Career Experiences
Career development and networking opportunities allow students to learn about companies, industries and careers in a personal setting. Students visit local companies and engage with industry professionals, building their network while exploring career options.
Internships
Internships offer students a hands-on opportunity for career exploration and valuable workplace-readiness training. Students also see how their academic studies apply to the real world. The experience makes them stronger candidates for college and jobs after graduation.
Job Shadows
Job shadows are short-term, partial-day (1-3 hours) workplace experiences that pair students with business professionals. Through hands-on projects that connect workplace skills with academic learning, students develop an awareness of the educational and technical skills necessary for entry and advancement in business. Currently, we have a partnership with Marvell Technology Inc., who offers this opportunity to students interested in business and accounting.
