Preparing Students for Real World Job Interviews

On Thursday 70 freshman from Cathedral City High School's HEAL Academy (Health & Environmental Academy of Learning) greeted twenty-two community health and environment professionals for a busy morning of mock interviews.  Each student prepared for the interview by researching the incoming professionals' career and industry sites, and preparing a set of interview questions.  This is the 5th year in a row that CVEP and HEAL have partnered in this event giving health academy students often their first experience interviewing.  In the past, these interviews have turned into job shadows which have then turned into summer internships.  This is CVEP's Jobs/Workforce Model in action - connecting local students with jobs and helping to define career goals.
