 # Following IBM's Lead, SAP Just Opened A Six-Year High School In New York City

 

##### Now corporations are running public high schools. But in this case, it'll prepare students for high-demand science and technology careers and maybe even funnel them into a job at the company.

What happens when a corporation helps create a high school?

We've already seen hints of what it looks like with P-tech, [IBM](http://www.fastcoexist.com/company/ibm)'s [six-year vocational high school](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/six-years-high-school-two-extra-years-catching/) in Brooklyn, where students learn extensive science, math, and engineering skills and after six years, get a high school diploma, associate degree, and a priority path to a job at IBM. Now the [business software](http://www.fastcoexist.com/explore/business-software) company [SAP](http://www.fastcoexist.com/company/sap) is trying its hand with a similar model.

At [Business Technology Early College High School](http://www.fastcoexist.com/organization/business-technology-early-college-high-school) ([BTECH](http://www.btechnyc.org/)) in Queens, students have just started school, like their peers across the country. They are taking classes like physics, history, and physical education. But in the afternoon, they get a heavy dose of business or [technology programming](http://www.fastcoexist.com/explore/technology-programming), depending on the major students have selected, and they stay in school all the way past 4 p.m. During their last two years, they get to spend time in real-world internships. And at the end of six years, students walk away with their diploma, an associate degree in business systems or [engineering technology](http://www.fastcoexist.com/technology/engineering-technology), and skills that are highly tailored to a job at SAP or one of its partner companies.
