Their corporate work-study program involves sending a student once a week to work in a corporate field. The day the student is sent depends on their grade level:
- Freshman - Wednesday
- Sophomores - Thursday
- Juniors - Monday
- Seniors - Tuesdays
- Alternating Fridays
There are over 90 corporate partners that they work with including Google, Palo Alto Networks, Stryker, El Camino Health, Bill.com, Juniper Networks and more. The students, since the age of 14 are allowed to develop their professional skills in a corporate environment with experts in their fields. Students are also able to start building connections young and start their networking which they could use at a later date once they graduate college and are ready to start full time in a corporate work field.
