Explore. Engage. Empower.
Welcome to the BVCSD Experienceship Program! This new initiative promotes career readiness for our students. Our goal is to empower every student with the skills and information to make informed decisions about their future by providing opportunities for experiential learning.
Real-World Learning.
We use the term "Experienceship" because it encompasses our goal of engaging students with real-world experiences like internships, career shadows, mentorship, speakers, worksite tours, and more!
Opportunities Await.
Yes, these look great on college applications, but what's more is that students learn more about both what they like (and, sometimes more importantly--what they don't like!) about varying career fields. In addition to opportunities that students find on their own, students can find opportunities like job shadows, internships, teen advisory boards, QRP Career Connections, and more on SchooLinks.
Students can earn a gold Experienceship pin to wear at graduation by completing 40 hours* of approved career-connected learning experiences, submitting a portfolio or reflection paper, and participating in the Experienceship Fair.
*To account for the Experienceship Program only starting during the 2024-2025 school year, hours requirements to earn the pin have been adjusted:
Class of 2027: 30 hours
Class of 2028: 40 hours
Class of 2029: 40 hours
