Student Program Opportunities

ASVAB (Grades 10-12)
**Exam administered at school in the Spring**
The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is a comprehensive career exploration and planning program that includes the world's most widely used multiple-aptitude test battery. The Program also offers an interest inventory and other activities designed to help students explore the world of work and gain confidence in making career decisions.
**MUST be 16+ to participate**
Riverside County Fire Explorers
The Riverside County Fire Department Fire Explorer Program is a youth program organized through 'Learning For Life'. The program is designed to allow male and female youth, between the ages of 14 and 20, to explore a career in the fire service. The explorers receive training similar to volunteer and professional firefighters, including basic fire chemistry, hose evolutions, ladder operations, medical and CPR training, hazardous materials, and auto extrication.
The training program is intense and demanding, however the rewards are increased character and the understanding of what it takes to pursue a career in the fire service.

STEM Scholarship: SMART Scholarship
The Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship-for-Service Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), is more than a scholarship. SMART is a unique education and workforce development opportunity for aspiring leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Scholarship recipients receive full tuition, annual stipends, health and book allowances, mentorship, and conduct summer internships at a DoD facility. All scholarship applicants should be pursuing, or intend to pursue, a degree in one of the SMART STEM disciplines. Your first step to an impactful civilian career with the Department of Defense is reviewing the eligibility requirements for the SMART Scholarship Program.
