Stanley Litow IBM was the main architect in the design of technology pathways to college in early high school, known as the P-TECH. The open enrollment school is located in Brooklyn New York was launched in 2011 through a partnership between IBM, the University of the City of New York (CUNY) and the Department of Education of the City of New York (NYCDOE) . Vocational and technical education is an innovative design (CTE), STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), and early college. Students can graduate with an associate degree (essentially two free years of college) and be “first in line” for the job at IBM. The school has been remarkable results: a third of the inaugural class entered P-TECH below the level of quality and almost all the students were promoted to grade 10 and more than half of them took college courses before the end of his second year. This case explores the motivation behind P-TECH (a deficit of more skills), how it was developed with the challenges, and the attention generated by the design of the common school.
