The Rising Phoenix Early College High School Program is expanding through a new collaboration between UW-Green Bay and the Computer Science Talent Ecosystem Youth (CSTEY).
The Rising Phoenix Computer Science Pathway program is modeled after the inaugural Rising Phoenix cohort with the Manitowoc Public School District that launched in Fall 2020.
According to CSTEY, computer science is one of the fastest-growing careers in the region with at least 2,000 new jobs created by 2022.
To keep up with new job creation, the region requires a higher output of computer scientists with bachelor’s degrees, who are ready to meet the computing needs of employers.
The Rising Phoenix Computer Science Pathway fast-forwards bachelor degree attainment by providing the opportunity for students to get a two-year head start by completing an Associate of Arts and Sciences (AAS) degree while in high school.
