Enterprise for High School Students (EHSS) is a non-profit agency founded
in 1969 to assist San Francisco high school students with school-to-work
transition. We provide a variety of services and programs that assist
youth to develop job skills, find employment opportunities, and explore
career interests. Career Exploration Program (CEP) is a summer internship
program for high school juniors and seniors in San Francisco. For seven
weeks, participating students explore a career field of their choice,
spending approximately 12 hours per week at a hosting internship site.
Through this program, students discover both the demands and the
opportunities of the professional workforce through experiential learning.
