Happy Valentine's Day! Nothing says love quite like sheet metal cutting, flaring, and brazing. Our HVAC students spent some time this week killing two birds with one stone, practicing skills while preparing for Valentine's day!

On their way to their own lab excursion, our Biotech students took some time to experience the "stop the bleed" lab with our EMT students today...some as volunteer patients, others as hands-on participants learning techniques from student-led instruction. Cross program collaboration is a great way to explore, learn, and sharpen individual knowledge through teaching others. #TrainingToSucceed
Oklahoma CareerTech delivers real results! Pontotoc Tech students earned hundreds of industry certifications last year, helping nearly all graduates find employment, continue education, or join the military. And the best part? CareerTech programs cost a fraction of traditional post-secondary options. Real skills, real careers, real value. #CTEMonth #OKCareerTech #OklahomasWorkforceLeader
