Giving Back - Staff in Action

ByLaura Ziegler
As most of you are probably aware, OpTech believes strongly in charitable activities, especially those having a direct impact on children and STEM Education. Yesterday, OpTech team members participated in Boulan Park Middle School’s A.P.T. to Succeed program.

A.P.T. to Succeed is a project in which local 8th grade students experience a professional interview by members of the Troy business community.  The A.P.T. interview focuses on the following:
A = Academic Achievement
P = Personal Time Management
T = Teamwork

For some of our staff, this is their sixth year volunteering for the program and interviewing students. When asked about the experience, one team member said “I am always impressed by the enthusiasm and talent of the young people I interview. I love evaluating their work and giving them pointers on building their resumes but also encouraging the effort they’ve put forth. It truly is a rewarding experience.”

Thanks OpTech team for representing our firm and giving back to our community.
