The Brighter Futures OC High School Career Exploration Experience is a 90-hour hybrid program designed for high school juniors in Orange County. It aims to help students explore various career paths, develop professional skills, and gain insights into Orange County's innovative industries. The program is structured with half the time dedicated to working with host companies, where students participate in team meetings, workshops, workplace tours, and connect with professionals. They also contribute to a group project designed by the host company to provide a firsthand look at workplace expectations. The other half of the program focuses on CLAOC-led sessions that strengthen essential skills such as communication, personal branding, networking, financial literacy, and navigating AI tools. The experience culminates in a presentation of the group project to the host company, offering valuable presentation experience in a professional setting. Students who complete all program requirements receive a $500 stipend and a badge.
A typical day involves spending half the time working with a host company on projects, attending meetings, and touring workplaces, and the other half in CLAOC-led workshops focusing on professional skill development.
This program is ideal for high school juniors in Orange County who are curious about different career paths, enjoy learning from professionals, and want to grow their confidence and skills.
