An effort to bring higher education and industry relevant training to Castle Rock is paying off for the newest graduates of the Sturm Collaboration Campus.
Luke Allevato says that COVID played a role in his decision to attend college 10 minutes from home, at Sturm. When so many universities moved to online coursework, he could receive his associate degree in secure software development for a fraction of the cost of a four year institution.
He describes the pride he feels when people ask where he works, “I kind of have to keep myself calm, ‘Lockheed Martin Space’, cause it’s such a cool position that I never thought I would have especially not at 19.” “Lockheed Martin is really excited to partner with our local community colleges,” said Lockheed Early Career Pathways Manager Kim Pham.
