An internationally-competitive US electronics industry requires a well-prepared workforce. Many community colleges and universities along the Central Florida "Interstate-4 corridor" (Tampa-Orlando-Daytona) work with industry to offer programming in the engineeringtechnology/electronics field; rapidly-evolving industry demands and increasingly-limited resources have led to the establishment of an education-business alliance known as the Tech-4 High-Technology Industrial Education Consortium. Tech-4 will utilize ATE funding and over $1million in substantially cash value industry match to enhance individualized institutional efforts to design and deliver a collaborative, replicable Electronics Workforce Development System that maximizes learning for secondary and lower-division students through coordinated sharing of industry and educational resources. Crossing the boundaries of three ATE areas (Curriculum and Instructional Materials; Teacher and Faculty Development; and Laboratory Development), eight modules focusing on different aspects of the electronics industry will be located across the region to serve as collaborative resource centers; instructional approaches will be based on the latest trends in pedagogy and content. Articulated courses and activities will be developed or modified (using the MATEC NSF ATE Center as a model) through extensive collaboration among education and industry representatives. Outcomes will include increased enrollment, retention, completion, and placement rates. Thousands of students, including a significant number of special population students, will be encouraged to pursue higher education studies through enhanced coursework and career awareness focusing on engineering/engineering technology careers at large manufacturers and smaller support service companies. Community college graduates may elect to immediately enter employment and/or upper division study. Secondary/community college instructors will increase their understanding of instructional relevancy through professional development.

一个具有国际竞争力的美国电子行业需要一支准备充分的劳动力队伍。许多社区学院和大学沿着中央佛罗里达“4号州际公路走廊”（坦帕-奥兰多-代托纳）与行业合作，提供工程技术/电子领域的编程;快速发展的行业需求和日益有限的资源导致了一个教育企业联盟的建立，称为技术4高科技工业教育联盟。Tech-4将利用ATE资金和超过100万美元的现金价值行业匹配，以加强个性化的机构努力，设计和提供一个协作的，可复制的电子劳动力发展系统，通过协调共享行业和教育资源，最大限度地提高中学和低年级学生的学习。跨越三个ATE领域（课程和教材;教师和教师发展;和实验室发展）的边界，八个模块侧重于电子行业的不同方面，将位于整个地区，作为协作资源中心;教学方法将基于教学法和内容的最新趋势。通过教育和行业代表之间的广泛合作，将开发或修改（使用MATEC NSF ATE中心作为模型）衔接课程和活动。结果将包括增加入学率，保留率，完成率和安置率。将鼓励数千名学生，包括大量特殊人群学生，通过加强课程和职业意识，专注于大型制造商和小型支持服务公司的工程/工程技术职业，继续接受高等教育。社区学院毕业生可以选择立即进入就业和/或上师学习。中学/社区学院教师将通过专业发展增加他们对教学相关性的理解。
