School-to-Career Program
Boston Private Industry Council
The Boston Private Industry Council (PIC)’s School-to-Career team connects Boston public high school students with summer and school year jobs and internships, job shadows at companies throughout Boston, mock interviews with local professionals, and other career awareness and exploration activities. In partnership with the Mayor’s Office and the Boston Public Schools, PIC Career Specialists and Employer Engagement Managers coordinate summer jobs and school-year internships for thousands of students each year.
PIC Career Specialists work within Boston’s public high schools. They guide, mentor, and inspire thousands of students annually and connect them with summer jobs and school-year internships. Throughout the school year, they arrange career awareness and job readiness activities. PIC Employer Engagement Staff broker the relationships between students and employers by recruiting and supporting the businesses that hire students for a range of challenging jobs at healthcare institutions, financial services firms, life science companies, and other professional organizations.
