✨1 Industry Partner + 2 Locations + 1 Intern =
Building a Future‼️
At Northwest Career & Technical Academy (NCTA), students don’t just learn about careers—they experience them.
Through Career & Technical Education and Skill Centers, opportunities go beyond the classroom. One of our NCTA students is gaining real-world, hands-on experience with Oak View Group at Funko Field (home of the AquaSox) and Angel of the Winds Arena (home of the Silvertips).
From live event production to facility operations, this is learning in action—developing skills that matter in real careers.
This is the Power of AND:
✔️ Education and experience
✔️ Classroom and career
✔️ Learning and doing
Learn. Do. Lead.

Ella is currently completing her dental internship at the office of Drs. Jarvis, Nelson, and Pedey. Ella is pictured in the front middle. This is a great example of the strong industry partnerships that help make NEWTech’s hands-on learning possible. Dr. Jarvis, pictured on the far right, also serves on our advisory board, and Dr. Nelson has been working closely with Ella to provide meaningful hands-on experience.
It is also exciting to see a former student, Olivia, pictured third from the left, now working in the same office after first starting there as a NEWTech student intern.
Ella plans to pursue dental hygiene, and it has been wonderful to see how well she is doing in this setting.

Some of our upper classmen went to a job fair today at the @hubsportscenter . Yesterday and before the event, students polished their resumes and practiced their pitches.
To every student that showed up and out: these steps are exactly what sets the foundation for a successful future. Keep it up!

NEWTech Prep is in Medical Lake, WA.

Mikalyn is currently completing her internship at Medical Lake Family Dental, which also happens to be her own dental office. She is pictured second from the left and has been enjoying the experience. The staff has been incredibly supportive and intentional in helping teach her as she continues learning in a real clinical setting. Our students spend a little over two months interning in their assigned offices, and it is exciting to see that growth taking place. #connectwithnewtech

Future educators in action 🎓✨
Today, PSSC’s Teaching Academy took learning beyond the classroom with a visit to Highline College! Students had the opportunity to explore campus life, envision their next steps, and make meaningful connections with both Highline and Central Washington University—where they’re already earning College in the High School credit 🙌
Opportunities like this are what make PSSC so special. Teaching Academy is just one of several programs giving students a head start on college while still in high school 💡

@Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take our Medical Assisting class at Sno-Isle TECH?
Donning & Doffing is a skill that our students in the program learn and practice frequently! Our students also come daily dressed in scrubs, ready to get to work. 🩺
Our students in Medical Assisting have the opportunity to earn 3 high school credits, dual college credit, industry recognized credentials, and they get to participate in a spring externship at a local clinic in the community!

Mangia! 🍝👩‍🍳

NCTA Culinary Arts students are taking their skills to the next level by crafting house-made tortellini from scratch! From mixing and rolling fresh pasta dough to carefully shaping each piece, these students are bringing authentic techniques into the kitchen.
These delicious creations are featured in their Zuppa Toscana with tortellini and other pasta dishes—showcasing both creativity and culinary craftsmanship.
Hands-on learning never tasted so good! 😋
