UTC helps CT high school students visit China through Junior Achievement

Twenty Connecticut high school students traveled to China this summer to complete a year-long program that began when a delegation of Chinese students came to Connecticut last summer.  The students from Mark T. Sheehan and Lyman Hall high schools in Wallingford joined 20 Shanghai pupils for a week-long focus on topics including business leadership, ethics and entrepreneurship.  The program, called the Junior Achievement Global Connection, is the first-in-the-nation Junior Achievement international exchange program and is aimed at helping students better understand each other’s cultures, economies and global business in general. The program was made possible through the sponsorship and participation of United Technologies Corp.
