Break Through Tech Faculty

About Us

Our program creates a continuous journey for college students as they move into the workforce. We focus on the three areas of intervention that researchers have shown are most critical and most effective in moving the needle: curriculum, career, and community. Our faculty and staff are aligned with the Three C's and are here to help our students and engage with the community.
