Boston Mayor Michelle Wu visited Wentworth Institute of Technology's campus on Thursday, meeting with some of the city’s most industrious youth.
For 35 years, Wentworth has partnered with Boston Public Schools on STRIVE, a program providing vocational training and life skills to youth with unique learning and physical needs as they transition from high school to post-secondary life.
When Raquan Wright Pritchett first walked through the doors of the STRIVE Wentworth Program at age 19, he didn’t know how to ask for help–or have the skills he needed to land a job and launch a career.
Boston Mayor Martin Walsh visited Wentworth’s campus Thursday morning to meet with university officials—including President Mark A. Thompson—and students taking part in the Supported Training to Reach Independence through Vocational Experiences (STRIVE) program.
