This spring, the HCC Technical Center in Atchison is excited to welcome many area 8th graders and high school sophomores for visits. These tours will give students the opportunity to explore the 15 different programs offered at HCCTC, including those in allied health.

The HCC Western Center in Baileyville hosted high school sophomores from the nine area high schools they serve Wednesday, Jan. 30. In the future, they will host a Career Fair March 4, and an 8th grade Career and Technical Education day March 25.

These visit days provide a great chance for students to get a firsthand look at the range of opportunities available to them and to start thinking about their future career paths. We look forward to hosting a variety of schools on our campuses to help these students discover what our technical centers have to offer. (All Doniphan County high school students in good standing have the opportunity to enroll in a technical program while in high school and attend part time for free!)
