Our Mission
When a regular classroom setting doesn't work, the Technology Academy may be the answer.
The Technology Academy is an innovative training and transitional support program for young people in the Northern Virginia area who have either dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out. This program has provided an alternative to the everyday classroom for the past seventeen years and has served over 600 youth. It is especially designed to address the needs of students with disabilities and help them to live and work in their communities.
Academy students are offered a chance to earn high school credits toward graduation while receiving pre-apprenticeship training and work-study experience.
Students benefit from small group sessions and individual counseling on career and life issues. The Academy also provides transition support for its graduates who will further their education in a post-secondary environment or who are heading directly into the work force.
The Mission of the Technology Academy is to support young adults in achieving their career goals, and prepare skilled workers that strengthen the Virginia workforce.
