Cal State LA showcased the work of its community college summer interns as it hosted the inaugural “Building Bridges to STEM Careers Expo” on Friday, August 1.
The event, which was co-sponsored by Growth Sector and Caltrans, highlighted the early accomplishments of the STEM Core Engineering Degree Apprenticeship Pathway, an initiative that encourages community college students to complete bachelor’s degrees in engineering and pursue high-wage, high-growth careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The expo welcomed about 40 interns, their Cal State LA student mentors, faculty, public sector leaders, and employers. Also in attendance were about 70 students from Los Angeles City College (LACC), East Los Angeles College (ELAC), and Los Angeles Mission College, who, as members of the Summer Bridge program, could potentially serve as future interns.
