ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: ISAAC LADLEY

Isaac Ladley attended the Western NY Tech Academy from 2016-2021. The Tech Academy is an early college program where you start taking college credit classes as early as 9th grade. Isaac entered the program in 9th grade from Byron-Bergen. He graduated high school in 2019 and then continued the program for two years at Genesee Community College.

The Tech Academy extends to two years at Genesee Community College. The college credits he earned while in high school and the pathway program led to his degree program. After two years at GCC, he finished an AAS Business Administration Degree with a concentration in Supply Chain Management.

Since he earned college credits while in high school, he could space out the rest of his college degree, and he was able to take lighter semesters, which allowed him to work more. During his last semester at GCC, he had to do a co-op to graduate. This is where the benefits of the Tech Academy still come into play. He was put in contact with his Mentor from High School. His mentor was the HR manager at Liberty Pumps.

Through this connection, he was able to find a co-op position in the purchasing department at Liberty Pumps. Isaac initially worked in this Co-op position for eight and a half months. During this time, he realized that he wanted to enter his career at a higher level, requiring additional education. He applied to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for a bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management.

Isaac is currently majoring in Supply Chain Management with a minor in Business Analytics at RIT. He still works at Liberty Pumps, hoping one day to manage all of Liberty’s suppliers. His end goal is to become a Supply Chain Manager.
