SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Map Your Future Academies - Foothill College
The Map Your Future Academies are a great opportunity to explore a career, complete a certificate and earn college credits. By being part of these summer/weekend academies, students have the opportunity to create an educational plan while also receiving support with writing a resume, and preparing for job interviews.
The program's vision is to use Foothill's outstanding certification programs as a "stepping---stone" or "gateway" to providing graduating high school students with opportunities to attain high-demand jobs while pursuing additional college opportunities that leverage their skills.
The literature shows that students who experience success in their first college classes have an increased rate of college completion.
Academies include: Child Development Academy (get your Child development associate teachers permit!)
Emergency Medical Technician Academy (get your EMT certification!)
Business Academy (learn how to start your own small business!)
Accounting Academy (become a tax preparer and become certified!)
