Competitive Edge Initiative
This initiative is focused on ensuring that all students receive an education that gives them a competitive edge in scholarship applications, college admissions, job prospects, and career advancement.

Providing a Competitive Edge in Riverside County
Apprenticeship Program Gives Graduates a Competitive Edge
The summer after high school graduation is an important time for young adults heading into the real world. With the Summer Bridge program hosted by Riverside County Office of Education, the learning does not stop. Students from Riverside and San Bernardino Counties continue to learn how to navigate the workforce through apprenticeships. Pre-apprenticeships help build soft skills while students also attend post-secondary courses to gain certifications.
