Ready for College Success
As the U.S economy continues to evolve, public education must develop new approaches to ensure that students, particularly those from disadvantaged communities and first-generation college-goers, are prepared to be the highly-skilled critical thinkers and problem-solvers that our 21st century workforce requires. For individuals and communities to succeed, it is essential to increase the number of adults with a quality post-secondary credential -- an industry recognized Associate degree. In response to this challenge, New York State has adopted the innovative P-TECH 9-14 model, redesigning secondary and postsecondary education while engaging local employers and communities for student success.
