Working with tools and technology on creative projects help me understand how things work and I'm proud when I bring a new idea to life.”

Thank you National Testing Network for having our Firefighting students come for a chance to practice the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) which they will need to pass to be eligible to become firefighters. It was a great day to participate in this challenging test. The students learned a great deal and it will help them determine their fitness goals for Semester 2. Students learned that "in shape" isn't the same as "work fit". They were such troopers as they left at 4am to get to Everett by 8am. #CTErealskillsforlife #tritechskillscenter






Core Plus Aerosoace students kicked off fall by mastering their fiberglass skills and creating clipboards! #handsonlearning #skills #fiberglass #manufacturing








🌟 Student Highlight 🌟
Camila from Teaching Academy North is already making an impact! In just 3 days in her internship classroom, she’s been able to interpret for a Spanish-speaking student, and her mentor has already noticed a boost in engagement. Before Camila stepped in, the student struggled to understand. Now? A whole new level of connection and learning. 💙📚
