The core concept of CHIP is to provide high school students with valuable industry experiences within their Career Technical Education (CTE) programs. This is achieved by connecting students with industry professionals who offer projects that simulate real-world, on-site challenges. Students then work on these industry projects, problem-solving or developing solutions, under the guidance of their CTE teacher and with regular check-ins from an industry mentor. This unique approach allows students to gain practical industry experience while still in high school.
