California Intern Summer links business with students to gain career and life experiences for their future. During the summer of 2000, over 50 Bay Area companies participated by hosting and providing work-based learning experiences for one or more interns. Local Partnerships Celebrate Success of Intern Summer 2000 In Oakland, 511 academy juniors and seniors participated in a 200-hour paid internship at sites throughout the Bay Area. The Oakland partnership celebrated this summer's success at a Reception and Internship Project Exhibition on August 31 at the Oakland Convention Center. Interns displayed and discussed their summer experiences and described their internship projects with employers, parents, and other guests. At the end of August, Julia Janecki (Business/Education Liaison for EASTBAY Learns) wrote: I had the privilege of watching 27 student interns at AC Transit receive certificates for completing a summer internship program. Two weeks ago, there was a similar celebration for 25 students at Kaiser Permanente. The week before that, 11 high school students gave presentations on the work they had done at a celebration of the summer internship program at Lawrence Berkeley Labs. Looking to 2001 California Summer Intern 2000 was a big success and will have long-term impact for all who participated. We expect Intern Summer 2001 will be even better.
