Fall Advisory Meeting and COE Accreditation Visit


iTech was first accredited by the Council on Occupational Education in 2002.  Periodically, we need to be reaffirmed by the organization for a maximum of 6 years.  For the last 14 months our staff has been performing what is known as a self-study on our school as a whole and each of our individual programs.  This past week a visiting team came from all areas of the country to assess that document and evaluate our school.

We are very happy to announce that for our reaccreditation visit, iTech had zero findings, zero recommendations, and two commendations.  (That is very good.)  Go team!
 One of the things that the COE looks at during this process is our advisory committee. Working with members of the local community who are business leaders is very important for us to provide relevant instruction that prepares students for the workforce.  Your input helps us develop our curriculum and establish partnerships that help not only our students, but you as well.  With our campus located in Immokalee, we are well aware of the commitment that it takes for our Advisory Members to travel out here for these meetings, but we are eternally grateful for your membership and everything that it means for our students and for our school.


Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Fall Advisory Luncheon this year.  We had a great turnout.  Our Spring Advisory Lunch will be on Friday March 13th from 12pm to 2pm.  I hope you can join us then for some great food and an opportunity to be a part of what makes this school great.
