The center of the tech industry, we need to ensure our local students have the skills and education to work in Silicon Valley if they desire. Providing students with foundational skills in health, science, and technology are essential for West Valley-Mission students to compete locally.
Providing more diverse higher education options, while closing opportunity gaps, is vital to ensure all who want an education can get one. With current technology and more efficient practices, we can ensure students and potential students from all walks of life will receive the desired education.
As a small business owner and venture capitalist, I know the business community offers students a lot. Partnering with businesses and community leaders will allow our students to learn real-world experience from skilled professionals. This is also a chance for potential employers to assess interns and eventually hire them following an internship.
With California facing mounting budget deficits, we must spend taxpayer dollars wisely. We must prioritize effective programs while finding ways to make West Valley-Mission more efficient.
