Work Based Learning Opportunities

Students use their classroom learning in professional settings. Experiencing the subject matter firsthand in the real-world engages students and gets them excited about their education. Work-based learning also lets students experience internships, mentoring and the types of opportunities that they need to thrive in the professional world.

The goal of Strive San Jose is to support the systemic work of East Side Union High School District and the East Side Career Pathways in preparing students for college and career readiness.

This is done by students pursuing Career Technical Education (CTE) courses with work-based learning exploration opportunities through job shadows, internship programs, and introducing industry experiences that align with career pathways curriculum.
