On Tuesday, February 25th the Bullitt County Area Technology Center wrapped up CTE Month with our annual Technical Opportunity Night. Parents and students were introduced to all our CTE programs and learned how every program has a post-secondary connection to college, trade school, apprenticeship, or earn and learn employment. Previous graduated were highlighted as three former graduates all under the age of 25 are currently employed in high wage careers. One student is and Aviation Mechanic at UPS, one is a Mercedes Benz Mechanic, and the other currently serves as the only Paramedic employed in a neighboring county. The presentation was followed by an open house so that parents and students were able to tour the facility and meet with teachers and current students. #CTEWorks #KYCTEEmPowerED # MovingForward

Electrical Field Trip 2/23/2024 Mr. Steven Ashford's electrical students had a unique opportunity to visit a house under construction on February 23rd. The house was at a point wherre students were able to see the wiring and make determinations about how the electrical code was satified. Students had a scavenger hunt to make sure they knew what to look for and they were also required to draw a rough blueprint and identify the different rooms in the house. The electrcial program owes this incredible opportunity to our carpentry instructor, Mr. Troy Jackson, who arranged this unique opportunnity. #CTEEMpowerED #CTEmonth #Moving Forward.
