This program offers a means by which stu- dents can gain entry into high-paying, re- warding, and career-oriented employment in such fields as interior design, animal care, hospital occupations, landscape construction, law enforcement, and computer pro- gramming. High school credit is earned based on attendance and internship training at actual work locations and certificates awarded for participation or skill can mean the winning edge in a college or job application. Aspiring doctor Judy Judge is a shining example of the program ' s success. Enrolled in the Emergency Medical Technician class, she has enjoyed the benefits of receiving impressed looks from peers due to the huge texts she carries, riding in an ambulance through rush-hour traffic, and most importantly, gaining the experience in previewing the medical field first-hand. Whereas many other students will toil at fast-food restaurants, Judy will be challenged in her work at San Clemente Hospital. If you ' re eager to learn, you can easily get a job, she says. -f.l.
