Trans Tech Academy
Located at Cardozo Senior High School, Washington DC
Partners - TransTech Academy Industry Partners Consortium (TAIPC)
In 2008, TransTech re-organized its alliance of partners to be more functional and focused. Tremendous strides have been made in transforming its coalition of partners into a restructured TransTech Academy Industry Partners Consortium (TAIPC). We now have an Executive Committee with officers, standing committees and a partnership outline.
The TransTech Academy Industry Partners Consortium’s (TAIPC) purpose is to facilitate the cultivation, collaboration and implementation of private and public resources to support the Cardozo Senior High School TransTech Academy program’s mission and vision. The desired goals are to assist in building program capacity and increase student knowledge and opportunities for college, careers, and the workplace. The TAIPC partners, committee and subcommittee members serve in a voluntary capacity in support of the TransTech Academy and are made up of public, private, academic, and non-profit sector individuals and organizations.
Curriculum Development Committee
To establish a collaborative partner-oversight relationship with TransTech leadership, faculty, and staff. Oversight relationship similar to that of ABET, Inc. (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology Programs).
Industry Education Committee
To expose TransTech students to various sectors of the transportation industry while at the same time exposing those transportation sectors to the potential of TransTech students
Public Relations Committee
To disseminate information to the general public and gain the support of the community that that will bring about maximum exposure to the TransTech Academy thus increasing support provided by the public and private sector transportation agencies.
Resources and Scholarship Committee
To identify and cultivate financial and non-financial support sources for the sustainability and growth of the TransTech Academy.
