Montgomery County and Prince George's Counties, Maryland are in one of the richest technology concentrations in the Nation. Continuation of growth as a high technology center depends on improving the high technology work force. There continues to be dire need for qualified individuals to enter fields involving high technology. Individuals with disabilities are a large potential pool of high quality candidates to fill this high tech demand. Presently, however, only a small percentage of students and adults with disabilities receive high tech training and opportunities. High school students with disabilities need to be exposed to the vast array of careers in high technology.

The goal of HIGH SCHOOL/HIGH TECH is to provide youths with disabilities in the Montgomery County  and Prince George's County high schools with early exposure to careers in the science, engineering, mathematics and technology-related fields. This exposure will be multifaceted to insure opportunity for realistic career exploration and let our participants have an opportunity to test their interests and abilities. We provide supports for success for our participants and cooperating federal agencies and high tech firms. All of our participants graduate from school and go on to post secondary education and training. The program is now in its 13th year and has become a nationally recognized model program.

If you are not part of the local program, you still are WELCOME  to use the vast array of resources on this site. There are hundreds of linkages to career development, disability resources and learning opportunities. WELCOME , just click Visitor.
