What is the school-based model of SYEP?
The school-based model is designed to utilize the SYEP platform to strengthen the connection between academic learning and summer career exploration through partnerships with Career & Technical Education (“CTE”) schools. With these specializations in mind, we tailor our job development towards these specific tracks so that students can gain real world experience relevant to their studies.
Who is eligible for the school-based model?
- Students enrolled in Ralph R. McKee High School
- Ages 14-21
