If any student wants to become anything of any value, you have to be intentional. If you are willing to put in the work, this is where you need to be at. The Career Center is the place that is going to propel you in whatever area you are interested. justice Hampton, Class of 2024 Sales & Marketing student
I was in the first class of the Firefighting/EMS program at the Career Center 30 years ago. The program has come so far since then, and now as a commander, that's where I go to recruit. The fire cadets are full of energy and eager to soak up the knowledge. The Career Center has been a huge asset for our department.Chad Everett, Assistant Fire Chief at Jackson City Fire Department
When I see the lightbulb go off, it’s a feeling of accomplishment. Our jobs as teachers at the Career Center is to help these young adults feel confident in what they're doing so they are able to step out into the real world and do a good job.Kate Richards, Careers in Education instructor
The Career Center provided me with many skills and opportunities, including a portfolio that I made, and still use for job applications and interviews. Learning medical terminology and anatomy was a lifesaver when I got into college. I felt cared about by every staff member, and learned so much.Mackenzie Bradley, Class of 2019 Health technician II Graduate
The entrepreneurial spirit that is alive and well with our younger generations is very evident, and the technology available to them has helped with that. But if there’s a chance for them to learn some skills to expand on that entrepreneurial spirit, that’s really the best part of what we have to offer. We have the specific skill sets to get these kids ready to go.Dan Draper, Principal
