Student Profile

Juliette Jackson “After completing the Paralegal Program in September 2013, I was fortunate to be offered a Paralegal Internship with the UCSD Career Clinic – California De-partment of Fair Employment & Housing. This career clinic opportunity not only further enhanced the skills I obtained in the Paralegal program, but is the sole reason why I was hired by my current employer. The education I obtained from the program provided me with a solid foundation of skills that were instru-mental in helping me quickly learn the functions of my job.”
