Real Estate P-TECH Students at Akins ECHS Visit Local AISD Construction Site
مدرسة Akins Early College High School P-TECH students in the Real Estate pathway recently had an exciting opportunity to attend an active Austin ISD construction site at Marshall Middle School. This event was facilitated in partnership with AISD’s own internal real estate department, where students met with the architect, engineering staff, construction management leadership, and more. Students asked insightful questions about school design, future expansion plans, urban school planning, and community input on school design. APIE has been supporting P-TECH students at Akins ECHS for the past three years, with funding support from the مؤسسة تكساس الكبرى. We’re excited that our students experienced this on-site, work-based learning opportunity, where they could visualize themselves as working professionals in the real estate field.
