San Leandro Students Explore Pathways to San Leandro Careers!
“Exciting!” “Enlightening!” “Innovation!” “Inspiring!” “Impactful!”
A unique collaboration of public and private, San Leandro and regional education organizations launched an innovative internship program for San Leandro high school students this summer — and some of the participants offered these words in the video’s opening moments to describe the experience.
A special thanks to Derick Lee of Pilot City, whose passion for connecting San Leandro’s youth to this City’s tech and innovation transformation has been key to collaboration with our business community (“Founders Circle”) and documentation of the experience in this video. San Leandro Career Pathways represents the enthusiasm and discovery that all of the participants, employers and youth, brought to the experience!
