For the second year, Goodwill Manasota has partnered with The Able Trust Foundation to expand the High School High Tech (HSHT) program, designed and implemented last year for students with disabilities. The program, which is geared toward students ages 14–22, provides an opportunity to learn about potential career paths in the swiftly growing fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The program enables students with disabilities to earn their high school diplomas and apply for college, while finding employment opportunities for which they are best suited. While the HSHT program is focused on encouraging students with disabilities to pursue careers in STEM, it also offers the opportunity to pursue professional and artistic careers. Classes are held weekly at the Goodwill Job Connection office in Arcadia with a curriculum consisting of internships, job shadowing and employer and college site visits.
