By 2003, YTE will be working with over 2000 students across the state. Like medical students, YTE students work very hard. They also commit to three years of YTE, beginning in their sophomore year. Over the three years, students learn hardware and software troubleshooting, Linux, Windows NT, HTML, and Java Script. We expect every YTE graduate to earn an industry-recognized technology certification, so that they will have a head start when they go on to college and begin their career.
Students can make a lot of money.
Technology jobs pay very well. Also, they can earn respect for being able to do something others can't do. YTE gives students a chance to shine. Because YTE teaches students to be technicians AND teachers AND leaders, we are able to attract a diverse student population. Also, work experiences like summer internships serve the needs of business, especially if the students are well-trained in areas like information technology where there is such a sharp demand.
