Student interns paving their future

By Pasadena Unified School District Staff

PUSD is celebrating student interns who are not only strengthening their own resumes but also helping community business partners.

Students, teachers, and business leaders recently gathered at the first career technical education mixer hosted by Red Hen Press to celebrate how PUSD college, career and academy programs have changed lives.

Every year, PUSD students benefit from guest speakers, resume reviews, mock interviews, job shadows, internships and work-based learning experiences throughout the area. The programs have led to meaningful real-life job experience, positive collaborations with community partners and even prestigious college acceptances.
