Our San Bernardino County youth have felt pressured by the narrative that they must look to Los Angeles or Orange County to find a job. The San Bernardino County Workforce Board’s Youth Forward program and Roadtrip Nation have partnered to show the world that the opportunities of their dreams are right here in San Bernardino County.
Amelia, Ansh, Lovely, Luis, and Melissa, all residents of San Bernardino County, set out on a road trip to meet inspiring local professionals who are creating meaningful careers and fulfilling lives in our county.
The Roadtrippers traveled several paths across our county to learn about healthcare, education, construction, logistics, government and manufacturing opportunities throughout the region. They had discussions with industry leaders in these sectors and our region to discover more about the diverse career opportunities available in San Bernardino County.
“We are proud to showcase the depth of our county’s economic and workforce opportunities. From the industry professionals to the young adults featured, the ‘Paths Across San Bernardino’ film demonstrates a few of our many exciting possibilities,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe.
“This is just another example of the ongoing commitment of this board’s collaborative efforts with the many partners and stakeholders to inspire, connect, and prepare our youth for exciting and life-changing careers in San Bernardino County,” said William Sterling, WDB Chairman. “We are excited for the world to see an example in these Paths Across San Bernardino episodes.”
Watch the five young adults as they set out across San Bernardino County, get the advice to carve out their own career paths in the place they call home, and prove that many lucrative and exciting career opportunities are available right in their own backyards.
The new two-episode series, “Paths Across San Bernardino,” will air on KVCR and online on Tuesday, November 19. It follows the five San Bernardino County youths on the journey that opened their hearts, minds, and opportunities.
