Located on the Goodwin University campus, high school students access dual enrollment and Advanced Placement courses, a state-of-the-art manufacturing center, and a research vessel for use on the Connecticut River. Through innovative curriculum and engaging teaching practices, CTRA high school scholars experience personalized learning pathways through job shadowing, internships, and apprenticeships.
Emergence - Early College Advanced Manufacturing Pathway (ECAMP)
Located in a state-of-the art manufacturing center on the Goodwin University campus, ECAMP is a dual enrollment, early college half day program that is designed for high school seniors looking to pursue careers in production. With options to attend in either a morning or afternoon cohort, our rigorous 21-credit program prepares scholars for success in industry by providing them with immediately applicable, on-the-job knowledge and skills, including blueprint reading, manufacturing math, lean manufacturing principles, CNC machining, and many others. All program participants have the opportunity for placement in a paid industry pre-apprenticeship during school hours. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates receive an industry-recognized certification from the Department of Labor, equivalent to 200 hours towards a first apprenticeship in manufacturing.
