Tyson

Ticket Sales Intern
The San Diego Loyal Soccer Club 

“During my internship, I served as the ticket sales intern for the SD Loyal Soccer Club. I had a great time and learned a lot about what my colleagues typically undergo on a daily basis, as well as what it takes to run a sports team. This course has taught me to be open to new opportunities as I took part in multiple interviews, improved my confidence, and it helped me identify a potential career path. ”

Bella

Lab Intern
Boz Life Science Research and Teaching Institute

"This program had a major impact on what I considered for a future career and how I handle myself professionally. My Boz internship gave me a new perspective on what professionalism means, as did the class. In class, we worked on assignments that taught us about ourselves, like what jobs we’d be good at or the kind of work we prefer. This really helped me get a glimpse at what I may want to do in the future."

Bella is currently at CSU Monterey Bay studying Ecology Evolution & Organismal Biology 

amelia

Ken 

Internship Supervisor 2021 - Present
Boz Life Science Research and Teaching Institute

“We have offered a practical hands-on approach to biotechnology from a research and development perspective to 18 Clairemont High School students as of January of 2023. In justifying the importance of this program, several of the past interns discovered that science beyond the classroom is exciting and has changed their career paths. Those students already entering the program with scientific aspirations have come away reassured that they were choosing the right career. This program is, without doubt, a win-win opportunity benefiting both students and the industry sector.”
