LSI, a market intelligence firm, works with companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, GE Healthcare, and 3M, to provide unique marketing insights within the medical technology field. Teaming up with Ocean View’s Business Academy, LSI will assist eight OVHS interns in gaining mentorship and workplace experience. These students will complete a variety of modules including business administration, customer service, accounting principles, social media and marketing, sales and business development, and communication and presentation skills.

Over the course of this internship, each student will create a medical technology company to solve a healthcare problem they are passionate about. The final deliverable will be a presentation on the problem their medical technology will solve and how their company will operate based on the learnings of the six modules mentioned.

OVHS Business Academy Coordinator, Roger Keating, shared, “The educational and real world experiences our students are receiving at the LSI Internship are invaluable!”

At the end of the fall internship, Life Science Intelligence will present a $2,000 scholarship and a paid internship offer to one student.

The Huntington Beach Union High School District expresses appreciation for the partnership between OVHS’s Business Academy and LSI, and looks forward to the ways in which each intern will learn and grow over the course of this internship.
