• What is WIT?

    This program is for high school students who have interests in expanding their knowledge and understanding of careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). More specifically, the program is designed to bring about awareness and encouragement preparing students for STEM-rich programs at universities, two-year technical colleges, and technical certificate programs. By participating in WIT, students gain exposure to higher education and career opportunities while building the confidence to consider further STEM education.
