Forty-four Beverly Hills High School students have been selected to participate in the 2025 Career Academy. Designed to reflect the world-renowned hospitality that Beverly Hills is known for, the academy offers real-world exposure to high-demand career fields.
Students in the academy will rotate through a group of Beverly Hills’ most iconic luxury hotels, engaging in hands-on, immersive learning experiences across industries including hospitality, culinary arts, business, media, engineering, and more.
BHUSD Career Technical Education Coordinator Cindy Dubin described the curriculum for the Courier. “In addition to the monthly rotations to the six hotels, our participants also attend monthly workshops on our BHHS campus, exploring a continuum of career exploration programming. Our students are learning about storytelling, branding, and resume building from top-notch human resource professionals right here in our own community. We are so fortunate to have such generous and enthusiastic industry leaders supporting our public education,” Dubin said.
“Career Academy is a powerful example of how we connect classroom learning with authentic industry experience,” said BHHS Principal Loan Sriruksa. “Our students are not just visiting hotels; they are working alongside professionals in some of the most renowned hospitality institutions in the world.”
BHUSD Superintendent Dr. Alex Cherniss sees the program as a positive example of community-student investment. He added, “The partnership between BHHS and Beverly Hills’ hospitality leaders provides a level of access, mentorship, and opportunity that is truly extraordinary”
