You can support our local high school students.

It is simple and easy:

  • Share your experience and expertise.
  • Talk about what you do for a living. 
  • Help local high school students explore career possiblities.

11th Grade students in the Health Careers Academy at Blair High School each participate in a job shadow Career Exploration Day. On April 8th, students will visit health-related businesses to learn about careers, observe operations and talk directly with people working in health-related careers.

If you would like to devote a couple of hours on April 8th to help a local high school student explore a career in the health field, please email paul@pasadena-chamber.org for more details.

The Chamber is working with the Health Careers and Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academies at Blair High School and the Law and Public Service Academy at Pasadena High School. We meet weekly with teachers to better understand their curriculum and how we can best support the students in the classroom and beyond.

This semester, we are actively seeking those in health professions, including alternative medicine, chiropractors, MDs and veterinarians to host students for career exploration/job shadowing. If you are a hotel or motel manager, chef, restaurant manager, kitchen worker or server, the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy would appreciate an hour of your time to talk about your career with their students. Do you work in law or support the legal profession? Can you take time to talk with students about your business, career and opportunities in your profession? We can connect you with opportunities to enrich local students’ career interests.

We are actively seeking internship opportunities for this summer in restaurants, hotels, health care providers, veterinarians, lawyers and more.

The Chamber is partnering with Ideal Youth to provide training and oversight for interns. Our staff, along with Ideal Youth, will screen, interview and select participants. Those selected be reqwuired to complete a training program that includes dress and behavior, ethics, taxes,  money management and more. Before we send an intern to a host company, we will be confident that student will be an asset to the host company.

   We are also working to secure funding for stipends for our interns.

   If you or your company is interested helping, please email paul@pasadena-chamber.org or call 626-795-3355.
