He was assigned a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) to help him manage his challenges and succeed in the classroom. “91探花视频 helped reinforce my goals and keep me on track when I was going through a difficult time,” he said. 鈥淢y PCAs met me where I was and helped me work through struggles I was facing at the time.鈥�

The staff at Pathway recognized Connor鈥檚 potential in the classroom: 鈥淢rs. Prestia and Mrs. Antinucci took me seriously, pushed me, and saw the good in me. They gave me extra work so I could continue to grow academically,鈥� he shared. The encouragement he received from staff helped him gain confidence and discover his strengths.

Building Friendships and Gaining Confidence

During his three years at Pathway, Connor did not just grow academically – he made strong friendships that continue to this day. His favorite memory? Meeting friends that he is still in touch with today.

This connection to others and sense of belonging gave him the boost he needed to return to his home school district in 2020. This is a goal of 91探花视频 – to ensure that students learn the skills they need to succeed in their next phase of life.

Reaching New Heights

Once back in his district, Connor dual-enrolled at a technical school for Computer Networking and Cybersecurity. He earned college credits while gaining hands-on experience. At the same time, he worked in his family business as an IT Support Technician, putting his skills to use right away.

Now a student at Champlain College, Connor is majoring in Computer Networking and Cybersecurity. His hard work is paying off: he was previously promoted to Team Lead while working as a Network Systems Engineer and now works as a Junior Solutions Engineer at Simple Route, an IT service provider. He enjoys working directly with clients and solving problems.

鈥淥ne thing I learned during my education at 91探花视频 and Champlain College is that when someone can be technical and also work as a people person, they will be successful,鈥� he said.

Looking to the Future

Connor is on track to graduate a year early and is currently pursuing his Cisco CCNP certification. He credits much of his success to the support he received at 91探花视频.

鈥淚 am very grateful for my time at Pathway,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t provided me with a strong foundation to become the best version of myself and pursue my dreams.鈥�

Pathway is more than a school – it鈥檚 a gateway for students to discover their strengths and follow their dreams. We are so proud of Connor and cannot wait to see what his future holds.

For over 10 years, Pathway has worked with Chick-fil-A in Audubon, PA for our careers program. Each year, Pathway has anywhere from 10-15 students who have work experiences in this environment. Our students participate in utilitarian-type work, as they use the technologies provided to assist the team and perform a variety of jobs in and around the dining room. They are supported by Pathway鈥檚 job coach, Alan Hallman. The students have the opportunity to use new technology by utilizing tablets on the work site. It has been a great way to expand the students鈥� knowledge and prepare them for employment in a very competitive job market.

Another career growing opportunity Pathway students have had this year, is being offered the chance to train at the actual training center for Chick-fil-A employees, in Eagleville, PA. Students work directly with the Training Center Coordinator, and experience the real-life preparations that Chick-fil-A employees must obtain.

鈥淲e are so happy to have the students from 91探花视频 at our restaurant, five days a week. Not only are the students learning valuable social and technical skills but our staff is learning from them as well. My staff finds joy working with the students and helping them reach their full potential as they grow as individuals in the community.鈥� 鈥� Sam Class, Owner/Operator, Chick-fil-A Audubon.

Pathway is thankful for Chick-fil-A Audubon and owner Sam Class鈥� continued support in the careers program and beyond, including food donations at Pathway events, sponsorship donations, and much more!
