What made you decide to enter the field you are presently working in? Did you have first-hand exposure to it during your youth? Was there someone who provided you with interesting experiences that sparked your curiosity? Did someone take the time to answer your questions and guide you as you decided you what field to pursue? At InTech Collegiate High School, we are creating partnerships between our students and professionals from the business and educational community to provide the valuable experiences that help kids decide what they want to be when they grow up. |

InTech Collegiate High School is a new charter high school being built on Utah State's Innovation Campus in North Logan, Utah. Our school is academically rigorous, focusing on the subject areas of math, engineering, science, and technology in addition to the traditional core curriculum. We provide students with the opportunity to not only complete high school but also to earn their Associate's degree or the equivalent of two years of college by the time they graduate from InTech. We specialize in "out-of-the-box" teaching and emphasize hands-on learning. | ||
| Partnerships | |||
| InTech Collegiate High School creates partnerships with the business and educational community to introduce students to different fields of interest. This partnership provides benefits for both students and mentors. Students will have first-hand experience in their chosen fields, while mentors will be able to promote their businesses and recruit from a pool of well-trained and highly skilled new employees. | |||
| Hands-On Learning | |||
| During the first two years of school at InTech, mentors will be able to introduce students to a variety of fields in the form of guest speaking, performing demonstrations, hosting tours of their facilities, or coordinating special events that may apply. For 11th grade students mentors will be able to host job shadowing opportunities, and for 12th grade students mentors will be able to act as advisors to help the students with their senior projects. |  |
||
| In Depth | |||
| We will provide mentors with opportunities to present information or host field trips at their facilities to our freshmen and sophomore students. These opportunities will be scheduled on Fridays throughout the school year and can be one to two hours in length. Group sizes can range between 25 and 75 students. InTech is very flexible in meeting the needs of our presenters, and can provide smaller groups of students depending on the situation. | |||
| Mentors will be able to work with 11th-grade students more in depth through hosting job shadowing opportunities. | |||
