At Yavapai College, we bridge the gap between education and real-world experience, empowering students with hands-on learning opportunities that enhance their skills, expand their professional networks, and increase their employability.

Success Stories

"This experience was more than just a graduation requirement. I pulled together everything I’ve worked toward up to this point. It helped me bring together my academic studies and the real-world execution I’ve spent years refining.

I proved that I can walk into a business, spot a real problem, and build a solution that lasts. It wasn’t just about learning the tools; it was about learning how to lead with them. I truly believe that this experience helped to strengthen me as a leader, consultant, and business professional."  - Matthew K, Student


"It really allowed me to open my eyes and take note of every detail to see how what we are being taught is applied in a real-life scenario." - Korey S, Student


“What began as an expected learning of the inner workings of a real estate agent’s day to day duties, my experience quickly evolved into an enhanced understanding of how all of my business degree courses melded together to strengthen my professional capabilities.” - Erin M, Business Student
