P-TECH Career Coach Program


What is P-TECH?

Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) is a new type of school that brings together the best elements of high school, college and the professional world. P-TECH enables students to begin their college and professional lives more quickly and with more support than the typical school-to-work pathway. Graduates of P-TECH have the opportunity to earn an associate degree and leave the school with the skills and knowledge they need in order to continue their studies or step seamlessly into competitive jobs.
 
“It is so rewarding to be a part of the P-TECH program where you can inspire the next generation to achieve their greatest goals. We always have a blast working on the latest team projects with the students especially when we can help them think outside the box. Having been a part of the program for a few years now, it still amazes me how much I learn from the students in return!”
 
—Patricia Okay, Protection Engineer
