District Arts and Education

We continued our partnership with new haven public schools to offer school-year and summer-long programs to provide high school students with experiences that develop the mindsets, skills, and tools required to secure and succeed in entry-level positions in digital careers or have a leg up in the college admissions process. We also continued our relationship with the synchrony foundation to complete our 50-student cohort begun in september 2023 from stamford public schools and added an additional accelerated cohort with 20 students from norwalk public schools beginning in january 2023. Additionally, we solidified our relationship with the Connecticut office of workforce strategy by launching the first of three high school program cohorts of new haven county students. This program remains ongoing through the close of fiscal year 2025.
