"What is Work-based Learning?": Work-based Learning Experiences are a part of the PTECH experiences. Students in the PTECH programs will experience hands-on and job-related lessons. Students in the Real Estate PTECH Program at Akins ECHS have visited construction sites (including housing projects and new schools), mini-conferences and workshops with our partner (Austin Board of Realtors), and hybrid lessons with industry experts. Students have attended problem-solving sessions, discussions, and panels related to the many aspects of the real estate program. Focusing on skills-based learning, students reflect on their observations, ask questions about changes in the industry, and written work describing what they learn and how it applies to their futures. Our partners, ABoR and ACC, work with students to prepare them for college, careers, and beyond.

Austin ISD Real Estate & Asset Management Team & Page Architects visit with PTECH students to discuss Redevelopment Scenarios for Sims Elementary, Austin ISD. 

History of our Program: Starting in 2020-2021, Akins Early College High School and the Austin Board of Realtors (ABoR) will start a real estate program for students interested in becoming certified agents before they graduate from high school.  This is a great opportunity for our students in a very demanding housing market.  Students will be taking dual credit courses at Austin Community College. The Early College High School program at Akins High School was established in the 2019-2020 school year as the school's 7th Academy.  It provides an opportunity for students to complete up to 60 hours of transferable college credit while in high school at NO COST to the student or family.
