The Potential "New Possible" in Information Technology

Did you know ...

• Educate Maine has identified Information Technology as a high-need occupational sector in our state.
• Information Technology workers are in demand in a variety of employment settings, including; business; healthcare, government, education, consulting, and more.
• The current unmet demand for Information Technology employees has resulted in flexible work schedules for qualified candidates.
• The average annual salary for Information Technology jobs and careers in Maine is about $75,000.
• Nearly 50 Valley Unified high school students, in surveys conducted during the 2018-2019 school year, indicated an interest in career-focused studies related to Information Technology.

We believe we could more effectively prepare Upper St. John Valley high school students for employment and careers in Information Technology, if ...

• All our students were together under one roof on one campus, studying and learning in an Academy for Communication and Technology Studies.
• All our high school educators had the opportunity to work together daily, designing and facilitating a comprehensive, integrated series of learning opportunities through a Digital and Information Technology pathway.

We believe the proposed Valley Unified Regional school represents the "new possible" for the students, educators, communities, and citizens of the Upper St. John Valley.
