Honors Program – High-achieving students who plan to pursue a bachelor's degree can earn college transfer credit and a transcript notation by completing a special assignment or project in collaboration with a faculty member.
Pathways Success Scholars – Coaching, peer mentoring, leadership development and Wake Tech resources help minority male high school students in the Career & College Promise dual-enrollment program succeed.
Peer Tutoring – Students provide assistance in specific courses, helping other Wake Tech students be successful while also deepening their own understanding of the subject matter and improving their communication skills.
Service Learning – Students complete 10 or more hours of community service and complete a reflection assignment to deepen their understanding of course materials and build valuable problem-solving and communication skills.
STEM Academic Research and Training (START) – A paid internship gives students a chance to participate in hands-on research and engagement in a variety of STEM-related projects with a faculty mentor.
Wake Invests in Women Career Guides Mentoring – Students have the chance to advance their professional growth and kick-start their careers by being paired with a career professional for personalized one-on-one mentoring. It's open to all Wake Tech students, regardless of gender.
