FRIENDS OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION

A NOT FOR PROFIT CORPORATION


Did you know that many of the youth in the Southeastern United States faces a serious challenge when looking to continue their education past high school?

Many of their parents don't make enough money to afford the cost of tuition needed to pursue higher education at a trade school or university!

Together we - manufacturers, contractors and vendors -- that need this pool of educated craftsmen to staff and operate our businesses, can make a significant difference by helping a greater number of these young men and women afford a technical education and ultimately find work in our industry.

By becoming a dues paying member of our organization, or by making a generous donation or grant, you are helping a disadvantaged sector of our society achieve the impossible. The recent US Census shows that about 12% of the population in the USA live in poverty. That figure is closer to 14% in the Southeast.


We truly believe that the only way out of poverty is through education, please donate today!

YOUR DUES AND DONATIONS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTABLE

THANK YOU
