Career Pathways

The P. F. Bresee Foundation's Career Pathways Program (CPP) is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) vocational internship program, sponsored by the Best Buy Foundation, where eligible high school students learn technical (hard) skills and workforce (soft) skills. CPP meets every Wednesday from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM from October to June in Bresee's Teen Tech Center (TTC) when high school is in session. Upon completion, CPP interns earn a technical certification (e.g. Certificate in Accessible Web Design) and are eligible to apply for paid summer internships with local Best Buy retail stores as well as local community agencies and businesses.
