Students + Mentors = Growth
Engineering Academy is one Career Tech program that includes one-on-one guidance by industry professionals. Each student is assigned a mentor throughout the two-year program. In 11th grade, the focus is on work ethic; then in 12th grade they dive into specific topics such as the content they are learning in economics class, robotics projects and project management.
The 2022-23 team of mentors is extra special because seven of them are Engineering Academy alumni! All of the mentors are professionals from organizations throughout the Traverse City area who generously spend their time coaching Engineering Academy students to prepare them for college, technical training and careers. In fact, this year Thompson Surgical Instruments has volunteered the largest number of mentors from one company. Other companies who support the mentor program include Kennametal, X-Rite and many more.
