High School Youth Building Projects to Win Internships

by Derrick Lee (PilotCity)

Recorded on March 22, 2022

Today's youth will control the future.  PilotCity creates a space where young people can gain usable technical workplace knowledge to further their professional careers. Solid skills can bridge the gap between high-end technology companies and motivated students. At PilotCity, we furnish students with real-world experiences and the capabilities to enter  the workplace fully informed and emotionally equipped to contribute to any company. PilotCity youth gain experiences in various industries, including telecommunications, energy, transportation, healthcare, and education innovation.

This webinar and panel discussion with youth includes a live podcast of alumni, high-tech employers, US teachers & schools, and Silicon Valley  parents. We answer some of the following questions:

• Why don’t employers see high school students as talented? How can we prove that we are talented?
• How can high school students get industry internships?
• How does project-based learning (PBL) serve as work-based learning (WBL) to give students an edge in their future jobs and careers?
• What are the benefits of digital internships, asynchronous interviews, and no formal applications?
• How does PilotCity build engines of innovation for local community residents and companies?
