Our program provides students with a seamless pathway from high school to post-secondary education to employment in the welding industry. Students earn a high school diploma and professional credentials, including certifications and licenses, and education credentials, which include educational certificates, diplomas, and degrees. They also engage in work-based education at every grade level, such as internships, apprenticeships, or other forms of job training programs.
We will support students in their attainment of a college education and the specific skills needed by employers in high growth industries.
Students complete high school and college coursework simultaneously while engaging in industry guided workforce development.
Upon graduation, students have the academic and professional skills required to continue their education or enter the workforce in a high demand field.
Congratulations to our Class of 2025 P-tech Welders who earned full-time employment after their senior internship with Athena Manufacturing!
Thanks to our partnership and mentorship with Austin Community College, these students developed top-notch skills and signed their official letter of employment. They started their first day in the workforce in the Summer of 2025! Proud of you boys!
This opportunity is what sets this program apart, and we are honored to offer it to our students.
