Last year, BridgED decided to partner with Olentangy Orange High school. Offering the ability to work with and learn from companies like JPMorgan Chase, Ohio Wexner Medical Center, Accenture, Worthington Industries, Forge Biologics and several others. Students are offered many opportunities like internships and summer programs with the help of BridgED.
Representatives from each company sat down and spoke about what each company offers.
With finance, accounting, IT, and scientific internships available, an Orange DECA student might take interest. The DECA program is the school’s business model that allows students to work through real-life financial and marketing challenges. BridgEd is expanding its network and has been seen all over Ohio, working with schools like New Albany and Dublin Jerome.
Its looking to find students that come from all backgrounds and those who look to be professionals in their careers. These companies recognize that balancing both school and extracurricular activities is difficult. Fortunately, BridgED provides opportunities for students to customize their schedule around their school and out of school activities. Counselors at Orange are available to talk with anyone and any time with an appointment in place.
“All we want for kids is for them to use all the opportunities they have,” JPMorgan Chase representative Jeff Lyttle said.
BridgED allows students to get the best out of their experience and also lets staff know what students are looking for in regards to their future and expectations. Their organization aims to provide to kids who want a jump start to their career and tailor their skill set to their career of choice.
