I am excited to offer you an educational initiative that will help transform the lives of your students. The Pursuit Program was established in 2013 to help students focus on career preparation, leadership and life skills. This concept evolved into an online program in 2019 to help enhance the learning environment of students so they are able to work at their own pace and excel.

I understand the importance of student engagement so I created a platform that provides an opportunity for each student to thrive in an authentic setting and take ownership of their individual performance, as it impacts the overall success of their education. My ultimate vision is to help students find a sense of purpose, which is often lost in the traditional classroom.

The Pursuit Program has partnered with the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit (WIU) to assist schools in the implementation process of the online program and help explain the program in detail. This guide provides an overview of the program so you can begin your journey towards having a career-ready focus for your students. I hope that you find as much value in this program as I do!

Sincerely,
Wesley A. Lyons
Founder, The Pursuit Program
