Why Portal Schools was nominated

Portal started to intentionally test the boundaries of what is possible at the intersection of workforce and education. Portal co-locates with California-based global technology company, Belkin International, to offer a career-immersive experience. Students earn their high school diploma and a college degree in areas of interest they define. The small campus embedded in corporate locations, provides relevant, real-world internships and on-site mentorships. To fuse career skills into students’ daily experiences, Portal structures a career-connected curriculum in three tiers. Tier one exposes students to different areas of the partner industry through employee panels, tours, job shadowing, and informational interviews. Tier two prepares students through training including mock interviews, professionalism workshops, and micro-internships focused on actual projects. Tier three provides professional experiences through internships and career placement training and support.
