The PCMS and PCHS CTE (Career and Technical Education) Teachers took a field trip to the VOLT Center in Craven County this past Wednesday.
From the Craven Community College Website:
"Built in 1947, the 7,500-square-foot facility was originally used as an electric plant before undergoing its latest transformation. Renovation at the 4.6-acre site includes parking upgrades, as well as building updates such as four expandable classrooms, a large conference room, office space, and a lab area with an open floor concept that provides an ideal training space.
Beginning in 2015 through a collaboration between Craven Community College, City of New Bern, Craven 100 Alliance, Craven County, Golden Leaf Foundation, Harold H. Bate Foundation, and U.S. Economic Development Administration, the Volt Center is a testament to the region’s dedication to creating an economically thriving future."
The purpose of the trip was to expose CTE teachers, along with Betsy McCandless (school counselor) and Kelly Williams (School social worker), to the opportunities the VOLT Center has for our students. While there the teachers learned about the various programs of study and toured the learning labs that accompanied them.
