The Knox County Career Center Building Trades program recognized ten students who earned the status of “Building Trades Elite.”
Students (pictured L to R) Preston Nyhart, Ethan Hull, Sylas Lamneck, Carson Penney, Porter Nyhart, Galen Ruprecht, Brianna Goodman, Truman Chester, Madysen Cochrun, and Gage Cook all earned BT Elite at the end of the conclusion of the fourth quarter last school year. Seventy-two students from the Building Trades program have now earned “BT Elite” status since its inception.
"Building Trades Elite” (BT Elite) is a program generated by Colby Clippinger, former KCCC Building Trades instructor, and the KCCC Building Trades Advisory Council that began in 2019-2020. Joe Stallard, KCCC’s new Building Trades instructor, will continue the BT Elite program. The program’s criteria centers around attendance, discipline, industry credentialing, and extracurricular activities. A point system is set up where students earn points for attendance, grades, industry credentialing, and extracurricular activities. Students can lose points for being tardy, absent, and for discipline issues. In order to earn “BT Elite” status, students must earn 250 points and must maintain 250 points or higher until graduation to keep the “BT Elite” status.
The “BT Elite” program is completely company-sponsored. Students who earn “BT Elite” status are awarded a hoodie and an interview shirt. The companies pay for the hoodies and interview shirts. The hoodie has the Building Trades Elite crest on the back along with the company sponsors. The student’s name and “BT Elite” are on the front of the hoodie. The interview shirt has “BT Elite” and the student’s name on the front.
