Future Workforce Development Through Youth Programs

The PIC works with over 200 local businesses to place thousands of Boston Public School (BPS) students in private sector internships to give them access to networking and skill building that they wouldn’t have access to otherwise. PIC Career Specialists based in BPS high schools work closely with students and their teachers to build and enhance the work readiness skills of our city’s youth.
For more information on Career Services initiatives, contact PIC Employer Engagement Director Josh Bruno.

PIC Career Coaches help BPS graduates navigate the transition from high school to college, accessing college resources, and advance toward a degree and a career. Career Coaches also help students with finding career exploration activities and employment support.
