The SBI Program serves as a device to expose inner-city and suburban youth to career fields that they might otherwise not have access to or envision for themselves. This year’s institute will be held from June 9, 2025, through July 31st, 2025. The program strives to pair selected applicants with professionals in various industries to enable them to gain valuable hands-on experience. It also assists youth with college preparation and teaches financial literacy, and life skills. Students will walk away with on-the-job experience, valuable workshop knowledge and the opportunity for monetary scholarship bonuses through the program.
This summer, the Clark County Summer Business Institute (SBI) Program will secure 75 opportunities for qualifying Clark County high school students who are currently sophomores, juniors, or seniors at the time of application.
This is the 29th year that Clark County has sponsored the SBI Program offering teens employment opportunities in a variety of fields, including law, medicine, architecture, education, and communications.
SBI Intern Testimonials
“Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity. Through SBI I am now able to apply for a position and keep working with my employer!”
“This was one of the best experiences of my life. I have already told all my friends to do it next year.”
“I learned effective planning, budgeting, and how to use ArcGIS and other GIS systems. I also learned about various civil engineering practices related to soil, pavement distress, and pavement rehabilitation.”
“I really like how the SBI program took time to make sure the future generation is financially smart, and we know how to use our money. Along with that, the other half of the workshops were very informative and taught us how to dress and act in a workplace environment. I gained a lot of knowledge from these classes.”
