Jackie Javier on What it Takes To Create Internship & Employment Opportunities in the Age of Covid-19 Episode 39

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jackie Javier, Manager of Work-Based Learning at Pasadena City College, returns to the podcast to share what she and her team has done to create opportunities during the pandemic. Summer is the most popular and often the only time a student has to get the all important internship. But this last summer, almost all internships shut down. Jackie and her team made the pivot and started working in overdrive to create programs, fairs, and panels that jump started employment and internship opportunities. They focused on helping historically marginalized student groups to close the equity gap and build infrastructure that tracks. Listen in to hear all that the Work-Based Learning team has done to empower their students and connect with employers in the age of Covid-19.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More from Jackie Javier:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email:</span> <a href= "mailto:jjavier6@pasadena.edu"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">jjavier6@pasadena.edu</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Call: 626-585-7984  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect on LinkedIn:</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiejavier/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Jacqueline Javier</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find the transcript to this episode</span> <a href= "https://pasadena.edu/community/economic-workforce-development/index.php"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To connect with us about the podcast visit our</span> <a href= "https://pasadena.edu/community/economic-workforce-development/index.php"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">website</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please be sure to subscribe, rate and review us on apple podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcasts!</span></p>
