Work-Based Learning in Action: A CTE Internship Success Story
Itineris Early College High School: Jovie Mooso
By UCSCC | Posted April 7, 2025
Jovie’s journey through her animation internship was a transformative experience, blending creativity, mentorship, and professional growth. Jovie first heard about the internship opportunity from her teacher, Jeff Bossard. From the start, the Place Value Project offered her a hands-on introduction to animation while collaborating with her mentor, Jason. Together, they worked on creating and refining animations, often going through rounds of edits to ensure customer satisfaction. Beyond animation skills, Jovie gained invaluable professional experience. She learned how to work effectively with a mentor and navigate a professional environment.

This comprehensive training is designed for Title VI Coordinators in K-12 and higher education settings who are responsible for ensuring compliance with federal civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
Participants will gain a solid understanding of the legal foundations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including relevant regulations, policy guidance from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), and key court decisions shaping implementation. The training will explore how Title VI intersects with other federal mandates, such as the Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA), and will cover essential responsibilities such as investigating complaints, responding to incidents of discrimination, and developing policies and procedures to prevent and address discriminatory practices.
Attendees will engage in scenario-based learning and receive compliance tools, templates, and resources to support proactive program management. This training equips Title VI Coordinators with the legal insight and practical strategies needed to foster an inclusive, nondiscriminatory educational environment.
Registrants must be present for at least 80% of the duration of the training to receive a certificate of completion.
