Welcome 2020
Welcome Finland to Pickens County
December was a busy month for the Pickens County Career & Technology Center. We were excited to host the delegation of educators from Oulu, Finland. The PCCTC was their base of operation. Our school district received very rich professional development from their expertise. We also hosted another delegation from Oklahoma City. This group was interested in the PCCTC aerospace engineering and advanced manufacturing programs.
Delegations from Finland and Oklahoma City visited the PCCTC in December.

Student Certification
December and January are critical months for certification completion for our older students. All of our career pathways offer a national or state credential. Some programs have completed their certifications for the year. Mechatronics, Electricity, Horticulture, Environmental and Natural Resources, Construction and Logistics have completed the OSHA 10 Hour Safety Card. The Health Science and Emergency classes have finished their Basic Life Support Certification. The engineering students completed Autodesk Inventor CAD certifications. The Health Science Clinical class just received word that all students from 1st semester earned their Certified Nursing Assistant Certification. Also, the Graphic Communications class had 100% passage on the Adobe Illustrator Certification. There will be more to come as we move through the new semester.

Electricity
PCCTC Electricity students visited a home under construction in the Reserve in Sunset SC. This particular state of the art, smart home was 7,000 square feet which included water features, a zen garden, gym and concrete hot tub overlooking the lake! Thanks to the Berry Group for letting our students visit this fantastic home!
