Avenue Scholars’ (avescholars.org) Business Outreach Team connects Omaha-area businesses with local high school juniors and seniors for hands-on, real-world experiences and employment opportunities.
When businesses collaborate with Avenue Scholars to host career exploration events, guide job shadows, conduct practice interviews or offer job placements, they shape a young professional’s future. By directly investing in the Scholars in the program, local business partners are building a community of talented and passionate young people in high-demand industries that form Omaha’s future workplaces.
“Our coaching model is built on personal connections,” said Andrew Ciochetto, Career Services Program Manager. “We want our Scholars feeling confident and ready to move into a career they actually enjoy. People tell us all the time, ‘I wish I had something like this when I was in high school,’ and that really speaks to the kind of opportunities we’re building together.”
