✈️ Hands-on learning is taking shape in the NCTA Core Plus Aerospace program!
Students Jake and Tytus are hard at work creating a new FOD (Foreign Object Debris) tray mold. In this stage of the process, they are carefully applying tooling gel coat, which serves as the base layer and helps ensure a smooth, durable mold surface.
Projects like this give students valuable experience with aerospace manufacturing techniques, materials, and industry-standard processes while building skills that translate directly to the workforce.

The Spring Advisory Board was once again a tremendous success. This year's theme, Midnight in Paris, set the stage for a fun and magical evening enjoyed by all who attended.
Our CBTECH Culinary Arts program catered the event, treating guests to an impressive selection of delicious creations that showcased the talent and dedication of our students and instructors.
Industry leaders, business partners, and community members came together to provide valuable feedback and guidance to our advisory boards. Their insights play a vital role in helping CBTECH programs remain current, relevant, and aligned with workforce expectations, ensuring our students are well prepared for future careers.
The evening was also a bittersweet one, as Christine Armstrong announced her retirement after years of dedicated service to CBTECH. She also introduced Chad Utter as the next CBTECH Director, marking an exciting new chapter for CBTECH while celebrating Christine's lasting impact and contributions.

💼🎤 NCTA Money & Business Program Guest Speaker Series 🎤💼
Featuring Mike Yorio
We appreciate Mike Yorio from @Boeing for speaking with our Money & Business students!
Mike walked students through his career journey from mechanic to management and shared what it takes to grow within a large organization. He emphasized the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and strong people skills — especially when managing teams and communicating with leadership.
One of the biggest takeaways for students was Mike’s reminder that the most successful employees are not the ones who know everything, but the ones willing to learn, grow, and put in the work. His experience gave students a valuable real-world perspective on career development, leadership, and professional growth.
Thank you for investing your time and experience into inspiring our students! 👏✈️

🦷 Thank you to the Skagit Dental Therapy students for visiting our NCTA Dental Assisting program last Wednesday, May 6th, to present “Think Before You Drink”!
Students learned about sugar consumption, oral pH, and the effects sugary drinks can have on teeth and overall oral health. It was a fun and informative presentation that gave our students valuable insight into preventative dental care and patient education.
We appreciate our guest speakers for sharing their knowledge and helping bring real-world learning into the classroom! 👏
