“I had the opportunity to graduate, work in the manufacturing trade and buy my first home — all by 20 years old. This was all made possible by Connecticut’s technical high schools. Now I have come full circle and have had the opportunity to not only instruct my students, but also place them in high-paying manufacturing careers where they can become successful and financially independent.”

Steven Orloski , Teacher, Precision Machining Technology

“Technical high schools help you decide what you want to do with your life…the trades teach you to be independent, flexible, behave and work hard.”
