“The young people in high school today – who will be making choices about their education following high school graduation – are simply unaware of the availability of positions in Houston’s main sectors and the academic pathways to access these careers,” said Ann B. Stiles, Ed.D., president and chief executive officer, Project GRAD. “Project GRAD’s JPMorgan Chase College and Career Institutes offer high school age students from underserved neighborhoods the experience of exploring college and career opportunities – allowing students to realize the real possibility of obtaining a postsecondary degree or certificate, while also facilitating a better prepared workforce for Houston’s future.”
