Brophy, Xavier Students Enjoy First "Tek Trek"

A group of 24 Brophy College Prep and Xavier College Prep students participated in the first “Tek Trek,” a bus tour of three Valley tech companies, on Friday, October 21. The goal of the tour was to give students a look at technology career options, as well as the types of technology companies they might find themselves working for, or perhaps running, in the future.

The tour started at WebPT in downtown Phoenix, continued to GoDaddy, and concluded at Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies (PADT) in Tempe. Company representatives shared information on each company’s history, products, services, and goals, as well as what kind of potential career paths they offer.

Senior Jack Cody said the trip was excellent and he would go again in a heartbeat. He added, “I hope Brophy and Xavier see the value in it and support it, as it is one of the best experiences that I have had at Brophy.”

Tek Trek was proposed and organized by Tishin Donkersley, managing editor and television correspondent for national technology publication Tech.Co. Ms. Donkersley is also a Brophy and Xavier parent.
