Cuesta College Summer Bridge

Cuesta College Summer Bridge Field trips to Cuesta College and local employers are also included in the curriculum. Over 400 students have completed the program thus far.

The Cuesta College Summer Bridge to Success program connects high school students with college level courses and paid work experiences as a step toward their unique academic and career goals. Bridge to Success is a two-tier program combining the College's Summer Bridge Program with Introduction to Workplace Readiness, a Cuesta College cooperative work experience class. The program is intended to p

rovide training in employment search and retention, a solid academic curriculum, and an interactive college experience for at-risk high school students. Participants enroll in Work Experience 10, a course offered at a variety of countywide locations, including Arroyo Grande High School, Atascadero High School, Morro Bay High School, Paso Robles High School, and San Luis Obispo High School. Students are recruited from area high schools, community and continuation schools, the probation department, the Independent Living Program and Foster Youth Services, and a number of other community programs serving youth. Participants earn three Cuesta elective units, up to 10 high school credits, and upon completion are awarded a clothing voucher to be used for work and school-appropriate clothes. Graduates are encouraged to apply for the Summer Bridge Program, which provides a second level of opportunity and experience for the participants. Qualified applicants who have completed the Introduction to Workplace Readiness course are chosen to participate in Summer Bridge, where they enroll in two college level courses and are placed in an on-campus job for the duration of the Summer semester. Students earn additional Cuesta units and high school credits, and are paid for a 6-hour workday.
