Showing off WTC

Today, Debra Stanley, the Director of Career & Technical and Adult Education, and I had the great pleasure of giving Karin Hoffman, a CTE innovator and member of the Southern Regional Education Board, and TC Wolfe, the FSBA’s Federal Relations Representative, a tour of Withlacoochee Technical College. We started our tour with the new Industrial Machinery Control Technician program, where Karin and TC were impressed by the state-of-the-art equipment and the level of expertise demonstrated by the students. The program’s instructor provided insight into this emerging field of motor control technology and the industry’s job outlook, emphasizing the high demand for skilled problem-solving technicians. During our visit, I had the opportunity to congratulate Thomas Hauter, one of my former high school swimmers, on his graduation from the program. I was delighted to learn that Thomas and other graduates from the program have secured positions and will be relocating to Jacksonville to begin their new careers.

After an enlightening visit to the Industrial Machinery Control Technician program, we moved on to visit some of the construction programs. The students there were working on various projects, including electrical wiring and systems. Karin and TC were impressed by the students’ attention to detail and the quality of their work. It was a fantastic visit, and I was pleased to showcase the exceptional programs and talented students at Withlacoochee Technical College to Karin and TC.
