  • What qualifies PETE and ATEEC to provide services for Tribal Colleges?
    • The Partnership of Environmental Technology Education (PETE) links the technical resources of DOE, EPA, and NASA Laboratories, federal and state agencies, private industry, and professional societies with participating community colleges to assist in the development of curricula for training environmental, health, and safety technicians and to encourage more transfer students to pursue environmentally related studies at four-year institutions. ATEEC similarly works in conjunction with PETE to achieve these objectives. Together their experience reaches across many diverse groups and their track record for success is substantial.
  • Who decides what services are offered at our Tribal College?
    • Plain and simple - your college decides. PETE and ATEEC are simply there to enable the project to unfold. There is strict importance placed in letting the Tribal Colleges decide where they want to go with the help that PETE and ATEEC provide.
