Business leaders, educators team up to start school tech program
Students to study construction management, engineering, architecture
Teamwork between the public and private sectors has led to the development of an educational program that will give students a jump on careers in engineering and architecture, according to a group of educators and business leaders.
The Building Trades Employers’ Association, the CH2M Hill corporation, the New York City Department of Education (DOE), the City University of New York (CUNY) and New York City College of Technology have all entered into a partnership to establish a six-year program at City Polytechnic High School of Engineering, Architecture and Technology in Downtown Brooklyn.
The program is designed to prepare students for careers in construction management, architecture and civil engineering and funded through a grant under the New York State P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) program.
