Project Profile

The SUCCEED Apprenticeship Program is an opportunity for students excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to gain the experience and expertise they will need to pursue a technology-intensive career path. The overall goal of this program is to provide students with authentic experiences in the techniques and tools of information technology with a particular focus on computational science. The program combines appropriate structure (classroom-style training and project-based work experience) with meaningful work content, giving students a variety of technical and communication skills. The SUCCEED Apprenticeship program targets rising 9th-12th grade students in Durham, NC and the Research Triangle communities of Durham and Orange Counties. Students are recruited from Shodor’s existing enrichment programs or nominated by teachers. This program will provide an intensive, multi-year experience for 100 students over a three-year period.
