Huge shout out to all the volunteers from the NKBA

Huge shout out to all the volunteers from the NKBA and Hammr communities who helped motivate youth to pursue careers in the kitchen and bath industry! Enjoy a few highlight quotes from the LIVE Sessions.⁠

Last week was BridgeYear's first opportunity working with youth outside Texas through collaboration with the Clark County School District (@clarkcountysch). This would not be possible without the National Kitchen and Bath Association!⁠

While it's been a busy week for our nation, it's also been a busy week at BridgeYear. Here are a few highlights:⁠
⁠
📮 We shipped 303 Career Kits to Clark County School District in Las Vegas (thanks to NKBA)⁠
🚚 We delivered 30 Career to Worthing HS (thanks to HCC TRIO)⁠
❤️ We led an Allied Healthcare Panel with KIPP Public Schools alongside Baylor Ascend and Capital IDEA Houston

Finding out what career you don't want is just as essential as deciding what career you do want. Here are stories of students discovering both through our Health Information Technician simulation.⁠
⁠
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Health Information Technicians (HIT) are in high demand. By exposing youth to high-growth professions like HIT, our Healthcare Career Kit empowers students to pursue career pathways that provide economic mobility.⁠

Meet Maddy. At only 2 years old, and with the help

Meet Maddy. At only 2 years old, and with the help of her aunt - a BridgeYear staff member - she's already exploring careers and has learned that goggles aren't her strength.⁠
⁠
Do you remember the first time you tried something and failed but were glad you did it anyway?⁠ A similar thing is happening with students in our Career Kit program - youth are trying on careers to see what fits and what doesn't so they can decide what path to take out of high school.⁠
⁠
We're going to bring these student stories - both the good and the bad - straight to your inbox this holiday season so you can follow along!⁠
