Jumpstart Program Begins on Campus

The Summer 2025 Session of the PC Jumpstart program began this week on the Porterville College Campus.  

The Jump Start program is a four (4) week project-based internship program for current high school juniors that focuses on in-demand careers in the region. It began four years ago
in a pilot program that was created by COS, West Hills College Lemoore, and Porterville College.

In the program, students are given hands on experiences in various fields and earn certifications or licensure depending on the field chosen. 

This year's program offered classes in the Fundamentals of Culinary Arts, Drone Piloting, and Pre-First Responder Training.
