Altek Electronics of Torrington employs four Electronics Tech students and is looking to add more. The four students are instructed by Al Valetta, the Electronics Technology Department Head. Rich Razza, the President of Altek, is a Tech school graduate. Rich also serves on the Trade and Technology Advisory Committee, attends trade fairs at the school, and has employed Wolcott Tech kids for several years.

Patti Hunter who supervises the Wolcott Tech students working at Altek says, "I highly recommend the (WBL) program to potential employers. We have had many Wolcott Tech students work here and the school is very good at providing for our needs here at Altek. The kids are very enthusiastic and have helped us out on many, many jobs.
