The students from Career Connections, Avon’s alternative school and the Upper Valley Joint Vocational School in Piqua Ohio discussed the career of pipe fitting with two certified HVAC sheet metal and pipe fitting supervisors from a local company. The students listen to a short presentation about the career and its benefits then had an opportunity to ask questions.
Through a partnership with WVIZ Idea Stream Channel 25 the Avon Local Schools has access to several career programs with a variety of vocational trades. While a videoconference to pipe fitters in Cleveland is not as glamorous as a virtual surgery or a connection to a foreign county. The program is a great enhancement to our alternative schools career programming.
