PATHWAYS IN TECHNOLOGY EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL (P-TECH) in Brooklyn is a pioneering educational model that bridges the gap between high school, college, and the professional workforce. Developed through a partnership between the New York City Department of Education, the City University of New York (CUNY), and IBM, the school is designed to provide students with a direct pipeline to careers in the technology sector. Rather than a traditional four-year curriculum, P-TECH offers a unique "9-14" model, where students can complete their high school diploma and earn a tuition-free Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in fields such as Computer Information Systems or Electromechanical Engineering Technology.

The school’s curriculum is heavily focused on work-based learning, integrating industry-aligned coursework with mentorship, internships, and professional development opportunities provided by corporate partners. By the time students reach the latter years of the program, they are given priority for job interviews with partnering companies, effectively blurring the lines between the classroom and the modern office. P-TECH serves as a national model for career and technical education, aiming to remove barriers to higher education and economic advancement for students from diverse backgrounds by providing them with the practical skills and academic credentials necessary to succeed in the high-growth technology economy.
