Bridge Program Helps Students Succeed in School and Work-based Opportunities |
|
San Bernardino Valley College has developed a “Bridge Program” for CalWorks students to support their academic and vocational efforts of improving their skills and obtaining high wage/high skill employment. The Bridge Program is an eight-week course that provides skills needed to succeed in an academic classroom, and work-based experience with employers such as local school districts, city and county government, and county boards of education. The paid internships start at $7 per hour and support services, including childcare and case management, are provided to students through the coordinated efforts of state and county agencies. For more information, contact Zelma Russ, Director of Workforce Readiness Training, at zruss@sbccd.cc.ca.us or 909-384-8670.
