An introduction to POAC’s Real-World Learning program
At POAC we believe it’s time to redefine what success means and give students the knowledge and opportunity to utilize these different pathways to achieve their goals, whether that be entering the workforce after high school or going to a four-year college or university. That’s what inspired us to create the Real-World Learning program.
