At the end of their internships, some students receive offers of employment. Mentors and staff encourage and assist the students in continuing their career development by attending college or vocational training. The experience ends with an Awards Ceremony and luncheon held for all participants. The students receive Letters of Recommendation from their mentors and a Certificate of Program Completion by Migrant Education. These are placed in career portfolios the students compile in class.
Mentors receive a plaque of appreciation for participating in the program.
This program has built-in components ensuring success for every student. The mobility of the migrant family to seek work disrupts the students' education. Migrant students are socially and financially disadvantaged as well. The overall strategy is to expose these students to career options that provide more stability, accelerate their English language skills, assist them in adjusting to new cultural and social mores, and provide them with a positive experience in the business community through volunteer service. The students are literally a sub-culture within the regular school population and their special needs are not being addressed.
