Program Description
School 2 Career Program prepares youth for mentored job shadowing opportunities with UPMC and other area employers. Paid career opportunities are provided while supporting the student’s educational goals. Each year forty high school students participate in a summer orientation, learning career development topics including workplace etiquette, career exploration, appropriate work attire, resume writing, interviewing, budgeting, leadership, and goal setting. Students take career assessment surveys, including Myers Briggs Personality Assessment, to help them determine their career interests. During the school year students participate in mentored work in their chosen field and receive daily homework assistance, Microsoft Certification training, tutoring and SAT prep. School 2 Career is a Summer Youth Employment Program application site and Summer Learn and Earn Participant.
