We'd like to welcome everyone to Pontotoc Technology Center’s annual Bus Driver Training! Area bus drivers are spending the morning in an intensive training. From navigating railroad crossings and handling emergencies to preventing bullying and knowing how to respond in crisis situations, these drivers are here to make sure every student gets to school—and back home—safely. Today, everyone is hearing about how to spot danger before it happens, how to respond when seconds matter, and how to create a calm, respectful space on the bus every day. They're here because to them this isn’t just a job. It’s a promise: Your kids are safe with us. #TrainingToSucceed

This is the MSA/Globe training group we had on campus from July 21st through August 1st. PTC's Business and Industry Services partnered with MSA/Globe and ISAIC to provide specific industrial sewing training to individuals that work for MSA/Globe. This was no slacker event - the training was 80 hours in total and performed in the ITC Building on our campus using five industrial specialized sewing machines. Training staff from Detroit, MI, Pittsburg, PA, and Ada, OK all provided instruction to improve the local workforce. #TrainingToSucceed We anticipate hosting sessions like this one again in the future . Feel free to reach out to us if you're looking for specialized training for your workforce! https://www.pontotoctech.edu/o/wd/page/about-workforce-training-development
