Posted Date: 01/08/26 (10:09 AM)


Pre-Tech Academy is returning to the Glenfield HGS Technical Center for Town of Webb UFSD students in 9th and 10th grade in September!  

Pre-Tech Academy is a one-year or two-year program for high school freshmen & sophomores built upon exploring careers and learning 21st-century skills in an active and supportive environment. The program includes hands-on projects and field trips that will engage students in collaborative problem-solving. Students will also have the opportunity to further explore career options and programs at Jefferson-Lewis BOCES, beginning their career planning.

The program is half-day, with the opportunity for students to earn four credits (1 Global Studies, 1 English, 2 CTE).

Sample units of study include learning more about technology for careers, research, service learning, career exploration, job market, engaging in effective public speaking and presentation, entrepreneurship and business, and learning more about global history and issues.
