Youth Profiles

Get to know some of the youth benefiting from access to NOVA's invaluable employment services:

Ausharre
Ausharre never dreamed that the summer job she got through the NOVA program would lead to a permanent position. But it did. In 2009, the Mountain View resident began working as an intern for the corporate communications team of San Jose-based technology giant Cisco Systems, the world's largest maker of networking gear.

Cuauhtemoc
			As a teenager, Mountain View resident Cuauhtemoc appeared to be sliding into the same life as his three older brothers, who never graduated from high school. With poor grades and a listless attitude about education, Cuauhtemoc lacked direction and had no clear plans for his future. But just take a look at the 21-year-old today.
