The early start on the KTEC construction project was approved, and students will have an opportunity to learn one of the many skilled trades that will be offered at the technical school.
KTEC, programs prepare students to join the workplace, in jobs that require hands-on technical training to perform the work. These jobs require years of training in an environment that has all the necessary equipment.
Learning how to weld requires patience and the instruction from teachers who have spent years in the field, and who now pass these lessons on to future generations.
In the auto industry, technicians will need training on electric vehicle technology as well as vehicles that interface with mobile applications and social networks.
