Today, our Year 2 Construction students led mock interviews with our Year 1 students. It’s a win on both sides: Year 1 students get real interview practice, and Year 2 students build leadership skills and learn what it’s like to evaluate candidates from the employer side.

We greatly appreciate our Industry partners! Papé Machinery Pasco provided invaluable assistance by lending us a Skidsteer and Mini Excavator for our equipment inspection units. Students were able to learn how to inspect hydraulic, engine, safety, and operating systems for equipment check-ins using Papé's actual inspection forms!

What does a maritime biologist do? We’ve been out filming to answer that very question. This is part of a “This is Maritime” series in collaboration with the Port of Tacoma. We’re exploring careers in each of the Maritime|253 pathways: Sustainability, Technology, Port Operations and Logistics, and Advanced Maritime Manufacturing.

We had a busy first three days of the week. We had some 8th graders visiting us from Bowdish, Horizon, North Pines, Summit, Evergreen, Selkirk, and Greenacres. Not all at one time-spread out over those three days!
They got to learn more about SVT CTE classes by going to those classes and doing an activity. Thank you to our student leaders who helped out!
