📣 Work-Based Learning Shout-Out: Behind the Business of RHS Concessions!
There’s a lot more happening behind the concessions counter than meets the eye!
This year, RHS senior Abagale Charuvilayil and junior Adelyn Carrillo are gaining real-world business experience as Concessions Inventory Management student interns.
Abagale returns to the role after getting started last spring, while Adelyn is beginning her first semester in the position. Together, they’re learning firsthand how inventory, sales, and profitability connect to keep an operation running successfully.
📊 Their work includes tracking inventory and product needs, analyzing sales, collecting data, and preparing weekly sales, inventory, and profit reports. Along the way, they’re strengthening skills in organization, communication, problem-solving, and business operations—skills that connect directly to careers in business, marketing, management, accounting, and entrepreneurship.
Work-Based Learning is about: giving students the opportunity to take what they’re learning and apply it through authentic workplace responsibilities.
A big thank you to Michelle Mauch, their WBL mentor, for creating an opportunity for students to experience the business side of RHS concessions and build skills they can carry into their futures!
❤️🩶 Great work, Abagale and Adelyn!
🌟 Work-Based Learning Shout-Out: From Student to Advocate!
What can happen when a student is given an opportunity, a great mentor, and the space to grow? RHS senior Liam Burack is a great example.
Now in his third semester of Work-Based Learning, Liam’s experience has grown far beyond the internship that first introduced him to workforce development. Today, he serves on two workforce development boards—one at the Weld County level and one at the state level—giving him a voice in conversations about how schools, businesses, communities, and workforce organizations can better create opportunities for young people.
A huge part of Liam’s journey has been his mentor, Greg Cordova, who has encouraged him to take on new challenges, share his perspective, and build confidence in professional settings.
And Liam is paying that investment forward. ❤️
He has become a strong advocate for helping other students understand the career opportunities available to them and is bringing what he learns through these experiences back to Roosevelt.
This is Work-Based Learning at its best. Liam isn't simply preparing for his own future—he's using his experience and his voice to help create opportunities for the students who will come after him.
❤️🩶 We are incredibly proud of Liam’s leadership, growth, and commitment to making a difference for other young people!
