Month Without Walls is an immersive virtual experience designed to provide all Burton 11th graders with impactful work-based learning experiences. Throughout the month of March, our youth will participate in a series of career readiness workshops and academy specific work-based learning experiences with industry partners across the Bay Area.
The mission of Month Without Walls is to elevate young people’s interaction with their career pathway beyond academic learning and to provide experiences that connect their learning to real world environments, while listening to the stories from real people in those industries. Throughout Month Without Walls, young people are encouraged and provided opportunities to envision their professional pursuits beyond high school, and are challenged to expand their skillsets to the standard set for working professionals.
