Colin brings 40 years of education and trade experience to NTIEC. Formerly a technology education teacher and school administrator, Colin retired from public education in the fall of 2017. He then joined NTIEC as an educational coordinator, using his experience to help grow the internship program in our eastern region. He has a degree in Technology Education from Millersville University, an advanced degree from East Stroudsburg University and his Superintendent’s Letter from Marywood University. Colin’s goal is to expand work-based learning opportunities for high school students. He works closely with students, school counselors and employers to set-up paid and unpaid student internships. “NTIEC placements allow students to rise along specific career pathways or gain foundational career experience. Employers get to participate in “grass-roots” workforce development. School counselors see opportunity for students to explore careers, advance specific career skills, or pursue an alternative career pathways (Act 158 Compliant). The NTIEC School-to-Work placements are a high quality and low-cost solution to Work-Based-Learning.” - Colin
