Career Ready Tempe 

by David Key

Career Ready Tempe is a collaborative effort between the City of Tempe and the Chamber Foundation in partnership with Tempe Union High School District. The CRT program has just completed its second year as a pilot program funded by the innovation grant. Nine students from TUHSD completed a fall internship of 120 internship hours with the support of eight local business that hosted the students. Two of the participating students were hired for part-time positions by the host business. 

The City of Tempe recently hired Delaina LeForce as the Career Ready Tempe Coordinator. To learn more about Career Ready Tempe, or connect with Delaina LeForce, visit tempe.gov/careerreadytempe.
