PASADENA CHAMBER AND PASADENA UNIFIED PARTNER TO HELP 
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WILL GAIN REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE 
THIS SUMMER THROUGH INTERNSHIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES

Interns will be placed in the legal, law enforcement, health care or culinary and hospitality industries

Pasadena, CA - 46 Pasadena Unified School District high school 
students plan to spend their summer interning in the culinary arts, 
law & public service and health sectors. These upcoming seniors 
are eager to explore careers of interest while applying their skills 
to the workplace. Working with the College and Career Pathways 
office at PUSD, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is finding 
internship opportunities and placing students with employers this 
summer. 

 Students will be required to serve a minimum of 60 hours 
of internship between June 8, 2015, and August 14, 2015. The 
Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is collaborating with the Pasadena 
Unified School District, Ideal Youth, the City of Pasadena and our 
membership to find intern placements. 

 The Chamber’s Workforce Development Coordinator, Amy Foell, 
is working to find placements for students in the Health Careers 
Academy, Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy, both at Blair 
High School, and the Law and Public Service Academy at Pasadena 
High School. Interested businesses may contact Amy@pasadena-
chamber.org or call Ms. Foell at 626-795-3355.

 “Job shadowing and mentorship provides context for students,” 
said Ms. Foell. “The work experience helps students be better 
informed and more able to connect the internship to future career 
goals.”

 Students in the program plan to either enter the workforce upon 
graduation or allow the internship to help shape their college 
experience and future plans. 

 Students being placed by the Chamber, as well as those working 
with Ideal Youth, will have extensive training in appropriate 
workplace dress and behavior, punctuality, financial management 
and business ethics. Ms. Foell will place the students, oversee their 
training, monitor their summer experiences and evaluate the 
success of the summer internships. 

 High school interns are also required to attend weekly seminars 
pertaining to time management, professionalism and workplace 
behavior and ethics. In order to complete the internship program 
successfully all students must give a final presentation about their 
experience and receive a letter of recommendation from their 
supervisor. The summer hours accrued will go towards student 
learning hours mandatory for graduation. 

 Businesses and organizations are currently needed to provide 
internship placements in the restaurant and hospitality industry, 
healthcare, legal professions and law enforcement.

 Benefits for participating companies are: no cost, short-term 
support, an introduction to motivated youth for your hiring pipeline, 
assistance with technology and innovative ideas plus the satisfaction 
of adding value to the Pasadena community.

 All student interns have work permits, liability and worker’s 
compensation insurance provided through the school district.

 The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association 
is a professional business organization. Since the earliest days of 
Pasadena, the Chamber has played a major role in the development 
of this internationally renowned city. Since 1888, when the 
organization was founded as the Board of Trade, the Chamber’s 
primary purpose has been the enhancement of both the business 
climate and the quality of life in Pasadena. The Pasadena Chamber 
of Commerce serves more than 1400 members.
