Program
Our vision is to assist the commercial and industrial economy of western new york by providing young people with a world-class education- one that will give them the knowledge and skills necessary to sustain and lead the region. We enrich csat's core curriculum with co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for students to become exposed to and aware of careers in the industrial, manufacturing, and construction, health care, and technology sectors of our region. We provide internship, mentorship, and training opportunities for students that will be supervised on-site through ties with local business, industrial and labor leaders. These practical, hands-on opportunities give students a unique insight and awareness of what options they have after graduation. Csat's early college & career pathways offers students a unique opportunity to explore their chosen career while earning free college credit hours.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $54M to $63M (+17%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 8% · 2018 9% · 2019 7% · 2020 7% · 2021 8% · 2022 15% · 2023 14% · 2024 14% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
