Who We Are
Founded in 2013, GradTechs is a social education enterprise that provides college access consulting, academic support and impactful educational experiences for students with limited access to post-secondary educational resources. The company was created after heavy market research in the United States public school system, which revealed a serious lack of quality resources in the area of post- secondary advisement.
As a result, GradTechs was formed based on a strong educational pedagogy and a student-oriented focus that has resulted in exceptional college access resource facilitation, first-rate college access mentoring, superior improvement in college readiness and classroom engagement, and the most qualified college application packages to facilitate top-tier university matriculation for our students.
However, the question you’re probably still asking yourself is, “What is a GradTech?” Well that’s simple, we are Graduation Technicians. We specialize in improving student engagement by providing relevant college access resources directly connecting students to accredited colleges, universities and career opportunities while encouraging high school graduation.
- GradTechs mission is to encourage, inspire and empower students by providing unrivaled college access
resources through strategic university & collegiate partnerships. - As GradTechs, we are Engineering Success through academic Support. With a solid menu of college

COMPANY PROFILE
For the last 5 years, we’ve been passionate about empowering our students to reach higher.
GradTechs blew in like a breeze and introduced our students to opportunities and resources that even I was unaware of. Their techniques make them transparent and allow each student that they interact with to understand how important education is in their life. Their ability to quickly assess and process each student’s individual needs and goals is refreshing. The work of this company embodies the very vision and principles of our institution and conveys what I believe to be the mission of our School District in a stylish and youthful fashion that the students really relate to.
African-American and other students of color continue to be some of the most influential in the U.S. when it comes to academic resilience and social innovation. Black students, in particular have a unique sway over U.S. popular culture. And that sway has a name: #BlackExcellence. It encompasses the unique power Black students hold where education, culture, and consciousness intersect.
