If you find yourself driving through downtown Ada and notice the graphics on the electrical box at the corner of Main and Rennie, here's a bit of back story: Working with the city of Ada and Ada Main Street, PTC Service Industries students, Jayden Gray and Piper Tucker, and IT student Jazmyne Gray, along with instructor Cole Jones, printed UV resistant wraps with laminate using state-of-the-art equipment and cutting tools in our print shop at PTC. In the process, skills learned included graphic building and scaling, layout/design techniques for large-format production, paper/material selection for optimal life span in direct sunlight, printing, curing, laminating, precise measurement and cutting to include appropriate tolerance for installation, and finally installation of the material using the proper tools and techniques to ensure the highest standard of quality. We love working with our community partners on real-world projects like this that prove the skills learned in the classroom are transferrable to the workforce! Thanks to the City of Ada and Ada Main Street for trusting our program and students to provide such a great result!

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
