Following the success of last year’s partnership, Gateway Vista once again teamed up with the Lighthouse TIP (Trades and Industry Pathways) program this spring, continuing its mission to empower and inspire youth through real-world career exposure in the senior living industry.
About the TIP Program
The TIP program, designed to help students, particularly those from underserved backgrounds, build skills and explore careers in fields such as nursing, culinary arts, construction, and more, has found a natural fit with Gateway Vista’s comprehensive services and team of dedicated professionals.
Over a six-week period, students participated in immersive experiences throughout Gateway Vista’s assisted living, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing care departments. They worked side-by-side with team members in departments like social services, therapy, life enrichment, culinary, and nursing, gaining valuable hands-on insight into the roles that make up a thriving senior living community.
“We were thrilled to welcome another group of TIP students this year,” said Mollie Cook, Vice President of Team Experience at Nye Health Services. “It’s exciting to see the curiosity and compassion these students bring. They not only gain job experience but also build strong connections with our residents and team members.”
“We’ve seen students light up when they realize the difference they can make in someone’s life just by showing up and caring,” said Jeremy Trujillo, Director of the Lighthouse Trades and Industry Pathways Program. “Partnerships like this give young people a vision for their future, and it’s incredibly powerful.”
At the heart of the program is the belief that early exposure and hands-on mentorship can transform lives. Residents at Gateway Vista also benefit from the students’ presence, often forming meaningful bonds and sharing life lessons that only add to the richness of the experience.
