P-TECH 9-14
About the Intervention
P-TECH 9-14 is a six-year educational program that integrates high school, community college, and employer partnerships to prepare students for both college and careers. The program serves grades 9-14 and involves partnerships among a high school, a City University of New York (CUNY) campus, and one or more employer partners. Students have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma within four years, followed by a cost-free, industry-recognized associate's degree in a STEM field. During the program, employer partners provide work-based learning experiences including internships, mentoring, and job shadowing. Students participate in career and technical education (CTE) coursework, work-based learning opportunities, and college classes (dual enrollment) beginning as early as tenth grade. The program requires substantial coordination among high school, employer, and college partners, with dedicated staff including college liaisons and work-based learning coordinators to support implementation.
