Students Discuss the HPHS EGT Pathway Experience

 

Based on the NAF educational design model, this pathway offers themed engineering/green tech instruction informed by an industry advisory board that serves as an essential bridge between school and the workplace.

A year-round work-based learning curriculum teaches employability skills (e.g., time management, teamwork, work ethic, and communication skills), how to use Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, financial literacy, and business writing so that students are well prepared for internships, and beyond.

Employers deliver overwhelmingly positive intern reviews

From Tiffany R. Garcia, Associate Title VI Coordinator at the CT Department of Transportation:

Having Diego as an intern was a pleasure. He worked on a project to make our public outreach efforts much more efficient to the benefit of the department and the communities we serve. Diego translated documents that help satisfy federal requirements for providing language assistance, and he has positively contributed to the overall energy of the office with his enthusiasm, motivation, and positive attitude.

FAST FACTS From the HPHS EGT Pathway

Remarks from Program Participants

Gianna Somwaru, Class of ’24

Hartford Public High School

Gianna completed an internship with MarkerspaceCT in the summer of ’21. She also completed an internship with Pratt & Whitney in the summer of ’22.

“In my past internships, I learned how to use computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D modeling & printing software. I also learned skills that will help me in my future career like teamwork, communication, time management, and problem solving.”

Jonathan Rosado, ’23

Hartford Public High School

Overall, Jonathan has completed two internships with Pratt & Whitney. And he is now in his second year in the Early College Advanced Manufacturing Pathway (ECAMP) at Goodwin University.

“Because of my internship experience with Pratt & Whitney, I now want to pursue a career in Environmental and Safety.”

Xavier Rivera, ’23

Hartford Public High School

Xavier completed an internship with MarkerspaceCT.

“At my MakerspaceCT internship, I learned how to use computer-aided design (CAD) software, welding, carpentry, and many other large manufacturing machines. And these skills will be very helpful me in my career pursue as an Electrician or Carpenter.”
