P-TECH students earn a high school diploma, have the potential to graduate with an industry-recognized associate degree, and gain relevant work experience in a growing field.

The program launched with the Be the Boss of Your Dream presentation delivered by BETF founder and CEO Wayne Winsley. P-Tech assistant principal Beth Furnari said, “Today was nothing short of inspiring. I’m excited to see how this program will evolve from our students to our students.”

P-Tech principal, Dr. Victor Black, adding “I don’t want this to be a one-off here at P-Tech, I would like BOSS Academy to become part of our school culture.” Dr. Black first became familiar with Brave Enough To Fail and it’s powerful impact on students in 2012, while principal of Harding High School in Bridgeport.

The BOSS Academy program is being conducted during advisory period throughout the school year. Classes are facilitated by students, who were hand-picked and trained in the BOSS Academy curriculum over the summer, on how to be facilitators and mentors.

The launch was made possible, in part, due to sponsorship by the Norwalk Kiwanis Club; president Marie Sacco commenting, “We are extremely proud to play a part in making this great program happen for students in our Norwalk community.” Students at the launch each received a hardcover copy of the book, “Where are you going?,” which serves as the BOSS Academy textbook, and an ongoing source of motivation and inspiration.
