Inspiring Growth. Navigating Individuals. Transforming Education.
When the IGNITE Pathways program was developed, our mission was to create a first-of-its-kind educational experience, and we did.
IGNITE is designed for students who “learn by doing” versus the traditional education model of “sitting in a classroom." IGNITE provides hands-on experiences that will easily transition into post-graduation life and high-demand jobs.

I don’t like English, it’s my worst subject. At IGNITE, I can take English, and instead of sitting in a desk, I get to work on a challenge.
