San Diego High School students partnered with Junior Achievement and PwC to participate in a “Dreams in Action” event for MLK Day
With support from Junior Achievement, Academy of Information and Technology, Business and Finance San Diego High School Seniors participated in a field trip to one of Junior Achievement’s industry partners, PwC, for a “Dreams in Action” event for MLK Day. The PwC team modeled their core values of leading with purpose and a value driven workplace culture. The students were inspired by how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was incorporated through his quotes to create a conversation and activities about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Students heard from a very dynamic and diverse panel who shared their personal stories of teamwork, perseverance and giving back. The goal of the field trip was to provide students with the opportunity to learn about PwC, enhance their personal brand, and learn about company culture while honoring Dr. King. The workshop provided students with the opportunity to gain skills and also allowed the students to learn more about PwC’s college internship programs (START) for college sophomores.
