Programs include welding, automotive technology, and a soon-to-open mechanical services track, providing students with skills tailored to in-demand trades.
The ribbon cutting was attended by notable city and state elected officials, including Mayor Cherelle Parker, state Sen. Jimmy Dillon, and state Rep. Pat Gallagher. This $11 million initiative aims to prepare students for diverse career paths, whether they pursue college or directly enter the workforce, addressing both individual aspirations and industry needs.
