Students in heavy labs at KCCC were able to visit with representatives from local Skilled Trades Unions last week. Students spoke with union representatives about the union apprenticeship programs. The apprenticeship programs offer strong career pathways and structured training to become a journeyperson that includes on-the-job training, classroom/lab training, full-time pay, benefits, and college credits. Shout to Gauge Stepp (pictured in green t-shirt by himself), KCCC alum, who is currently an apprentice with Local 18 Operating Engineers. Thank you to all of the representatives for coming out to speak with our students!!
Mrs. Nowicki & Mrs. Bush presented at the Ohio School Counselor Conference recently. They led two breakout sessions at the conference. The first session was titled Career Tech Counselors Connect where Career Tech School Counselors had a time to connect, relate, ask questions, and share updates in the career tech world. The second session was titled Making Community Connections: Finding Your Local Resources. Mrs. Nowicki & Mrs. Bush presented about hints and tips of how to gather your school crew to get out into your community to go on a local resource tour and build the connections that your school and students need.

Knox County Career Center’s (KCCC) JROTC held their 11th annual Raider Competition recently at Ariel Foundation Park.
The event featured 13 schools and 25 teams from across two states. The overall champion of the competition was Beavercreek High School’s A team followed by Green High School’s A team in second place. Beavercreek High School’s B team rounded out the top three in third place.
KCCC’s A team finished in fourth place overall and the KCCC B team finished in tenth place overall.
“This year’s competition was once again a tremendous success. We were thrilled to welcome students from across Ohio, along with a dedicated team from Pennsylvania. The event offers a physically demanding environment that challenges young cadets and fosters personal growth. Through the experience, they learn to push beyond their perceived physical limits, work cohesively as a team, and demonstrate leadership and encouragement when it matters most,” said KCCC’s Colonel Salvucci.
He added, “It’s in this setting that we help shape today’s youth into tomorrow’s responsible citizens, ready to lead their country. I find it incredibly rewarding to provide this opportunity for growth–and even more inspiring to witness it unfold in real time.”
