Our partnership with Ernst & Young provides our seniors with excellent opportunities. Each month, four different seniors spend a day at the Ernst & Young offices, with a total of twenty-four seniors experiencing this great venture last school year. Their day at Ernst & Young consisted of shadowing members of the firm, exposure to the business and world class clients. Throughout the internship they received regular feedback, guidance and coaching from professionals to help them develop the skills they need to succeed. They also improved important skills, such as presenting and networking while also learning to care for their physical, emotional, social and financial well-being. At the conclusion of the program, our students reported they felt a real sense of belonging and that their opinions mattered. We are eager to continue this partnership when school is back in session full time.
