Students are Back to School this week in the Syracuse area. For some, part of summer vacation was spent learning through activities that introduced them to new areas of study and career fields. The Syracuse City School District has significantly expanded their career-focused education in P-TECH and C-TECH programs to engage students and held summer internships. Meanwhile, a new charter school, OnTECH High School opened this week and is not career specific and allows students to determine their own interests. WAER’s John Smith takes us on a journey through the programs and talks with educators and students.
