Bank of America CTE Summer Scholars is a seven-week program that combines summer school with an internship placement to help students enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs mitigate summer learning loss, advance academic performance, develop professional skills for career success, and gain exposure to emerging fields of study and work. The core that binds the program together is the Youth Think Tank on Youth Employment. Each class of 20 students are assigned a Project Mentor – a youth employment professional who meets with the class four times to help them propose and develop solutions to this authentic challenge.
