P-TECH is an innovative educational model, which originated in Brooklyn, New York in 2011 and has since expanded across the US and internationally.
The Australian Government has invested $5.1 million to pilot the P-TECH model in Australia, and has engaged Skilling Australia Foundation to assist local stakeholders to work together to implement P-TECH learning programs at all 14 pilot sites.
P-TECH enables industry, education and community to collaborate to provide students with industry-supported pathways to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) related qualifications and local employment opportunities.
All P-TECH partnerships focus on the development of students’ technical STEM skills and job-ready general skills, which will enable them to adapt to the ever-changing workforce of the
21st Century.
Ten P-TECH partnerships are currently operational across Australia with four new partnerships to commence in 2019.
