Oakland Unified's Highway to Work places recent high school graduates into health care roles across Bay Area emergency rooms, nursing facilities, and ambulance services within a year of graduation. The four-year-old, district-run internship offers pathways as emergency medical technician, certified nursing assistant, or emergency room technician. Interns earn up to $3,000 over the summer and receive coverage for certification test fees. The program expanded by 30 graduates this summer. Funding comes from the Haas Family Foundation and a California Employment Development Department grant. Participants gain medical training, patient care, and emergency response experience while pursuing further education or employment.
