Program Type
Program Activities
UTEC offers an educational component for all participating youth. It consists of morning circles, HISET, individual instruction as needed, outside job training classes or educational opportunities, afternoon cases in building financial capacity, and other career-building course offerings.
UTEC offers onsite HiSET preparation classes for young adults who do not yet have their high school credentials. With 2 FTE instructors supported by 2 Commonwealth Corps service interns for classroom and tutoring support, UTEC’s education program is highly tailored to individual student needs. Additionally, young adults participate in credit-eligible coursework through a dual-enrollment program with Middlesex Community College, so that academic Education programming continues after a participant earns a HiSET.
