Although each technical institute has programs in place specifically aimed at improving minority success, at‐risk students are defined not on any demographic, but rather upon sub‐standard achievement (where attendance as well as academic performance are indicators). At‐risk students are provided remedial education, tutoring, and one‐on‐one assistance opportunities. Data pertaining to the requested subgroups is below.
