A-Tech long term partner with the Ashtabula Home and Family Show
ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP — A lengthy partnership between the Ashtabula Home and Family Show and A-Tech is scheduled to continue this weekend.
'We partner with the Home Show each year by setting up a booth to share the many opportunities we have for Ashtabula County residents,' A-Tech Superintendent Scott Wludyga said. 'Whether it is high school [students], or adult students looking to expand opportunities in a career technical program, or opportunities for businesses to partner with us, we want the community to know.'
He said enrollment is already underway for the school's adult programs, and this is a great time for people to learn about the skills they can gain and potential funding resources to help with tuition.
'We also have our Youth Opportunities program, through the partnership with Ashtabula County Job and Family Services and the area 199 Workforce Board that serves hundreds of youth in the county,' Wludyga said. 'We often make connections with families and businesses at the Home Show for all of our programs.'
He said the partnership has been in place for decades.
The show also provides a unique benefit to students.
'This event helps us show the community how students can gain a competitive advantage for the future,' Wludyga said. 'There are so many opportunities in Ashtabula County right now, and with the technical skills our students gain, they will be on a path to success.'
Wludyga said the show is important for the county.
'The Home Show brings together a variety of things that highlight our community, and we are glad to be a part of it,' he said.
The school is gearing up for a big celebration this fall, when a new building is opened that will house criminal justice, firefighter/emergency medical technician, and advanced manufacturing labs, Wludyga said.
'We'll be hosting an open house sometime in August, and we want to invite every resident of Ashtabula County to see it,' Wludyga said. 'Our high school and adult students are gaining skills that will help them expand their opportunities for the future, and, in turn, help Ashtabula County grow.'
