Our Applied Construction class got to visit the new ConRAC commercial construction site which will be the new consolidated car rental center that is being built by Kent Companies at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR). Students got the experience of being on a commercial job site that is being built from concrete, rebars, and cables!

Inspiring the Next Generation of IT Professionals! Our team recently had the pleasure of connecting with students at the Kent Career Tech Center to share insights about the dynamic world of cybersecurity and IT. We discussed the importance of strong communication skills, the realities of starting out in the field, and key traits to focus on for career success. We also explored other non-technical roles within the IT industry, such as content creation and marketing, that are just as essential to the field. A big thank you to the students and staff at Kent Career Technical Center for a great conversation — we look forward to seeing these future professionals thrive! #Cybersecurity #TechCareers #ITJobs #KentCareerTechnicalCenter #FutureProfessionals

Some of our Criminal Justice students experienced a scuba diving training with the Kent County Sheriff's Office, Michigan Search and Rescue team. For many, this was the first time trying on scuba equipment and breathing underwater with it. After doing this, many students expressed interest in wanting to get their scuba certification, something that will make them standout when applying for a law enforcement position.

Our Hospitality and Culinary students had the opportunity this week to work alongside local industry chefs at the Taste of Hope event: a benefit for the American Cancer Society, held at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Chefs competed for awards such as best plate, best booth design, best taste, and 2024 Top Chef. Our students were able to get hands-on experience with industry leaders, gaining valuable networking and customer service skills. How fun!
