ӣƵ (BRTC) recently hosted 56 Pocahontas 8th grade students for a day of exploration and hands-on learning.
Students had to opportunity to learn more about BRTC’s Career and Technical Center and the wide variety of programs available to them as juniors and seniors. They even had the chance to visit the phlebotomy lab and try their hand at drawing blood from a practice arm.
“We love seeing students begin thinking about their next steps,” Beth Davis, director of career, technical, and concurrent programs, said. “We look forward to having many of them back in the future.”
BRTC’s Career and Technical Center is a free program which enables high school juniors and seniors to get a head start on a career after high school. Students can graduate with their high school diploma as well as with a BRTC certificate at the same time, ready to go right into the workforce. The CTC program is funded by the Office of Skills Development.
