Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology, now commonly known as Franklin Cummings Tech, empowers students to achieve their career goals and attain economic advancement through accessible, flexible, and hands-on technical and trade education. We deliver 21st-century education built on history dating back to a 1790 bequest from Benjamin Franklin to the City of Boston to invest in trade edu

cation and entrepreneurship. From the application process through job placement, we're here to help create clear pathways to careers through technical education at certificate, associate, and bachelor's degree levels. With an 85% job placement rate, demand for our graduates is high, because they have the skills employers need, and because they learn durable skills like effective communication, teamwork, and critical problem-solving along with technical acumen. As skilled technicians, our graduates know how to make things work; as good citizens, they herald civic responsibility in their communities.

Fourteen students from the maintenance technician program at Franklin Cummings Tech recently completed a volunteer project at a Veterans Center in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood, under the leadership of Gray Wilder and Rannie McCall and in partnership with Rebuilding Together Boston (). The students applied the hands-on skills they’ve learned in the classroom to help finish and spruce up the facility, creating a more welcoming space. The project provided valuable real-world experience for the students while giving back to those who have served the community. It was truly a win-win effort that combined workforce training, teamwork, and community support.
