👏 In addition to the three UTC students that were highlighted a few weeks ago, Tyler Dunton has also completed the Maine Career Exploration Badge Program offered by Jobs for Maine Graduates. He completed a 40-hour in-depth internship and received a $500 check in recognition of his participation. Congratulations, Tyler! 🏅
Today's Skills Spotlight features Nathan Page. Nathan is in the EMT program here at UTC and competed in First Aid/CPR winning a Bronze. It was "AMAZING!" He says "I was not expecting it but it was one of the best feelings. I was more proud of my new friend, Tessa, for receiving the gold medal. I was just grateful that I even received bronze!"
Nathan says the medal will look great on his resume as he pursues a career in healthcare.
As we get closer to our students flying out to Atlanta to represent Maine at Skills USA Nationals we wanted to spotlight some of our medal winners. First up is Tyler Gillie. Tyler has competed in Skills for two years now in Collision Repair and said this year he didn't do as well as he wanted to so he was surprised to get the gold. "It’s a great idea to do even if you might not place the whole thing is a cool experience and you might be surprised and do well."
🎉 Congratulations to Matthew Brawn from Old Town High School for being named the 2024 MACTE CTE Student of the Year for UTC! 🏆 Matthew, a dedicated 2nd-year Electrical Technology student at UTC, not only excels academically but also demonstrates exceptional leadership and passion for his field. As a recent SkillsUSA Maine Gold medalist, Matthew's technical skills are matched by his impressive academic performance and dedication to become better than he was yesterday. His journey exemplifies the true essence of a CTE student: resilient, innovative, humble & driven to succeed.Stay turned for more of Matt’s CTE story!
