StrataTech Education Group

Top Arizona executive: Mary Kelly

What it does: StrataTech Education Group focuses on the education, growth and development of specialized career education schools, particularly skilled-trade programs designed to address the nation’s growing infrastructure needs.

Community impact: By collaborating with industry leaders, local stakeholders and national brands, StrataTech is able to bring skills-based education to new audiences. Most recently, StrataTech partnered with fellow legacy brand Home Depot to expand its “Path to Pro”’ program curriculum with welding and HVAC/refrigeration content, part of a broader effort to address the severe shortage of welders and HVAC technicians in the U.S. Now, people can access free introductory modules online and pursue education and employment opportunities in either of these fields.
