Two hundred fifty-seven students will receive Career Passports at Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center’s Completion Ceremony on Thursday, May 21. The event begins at 7 p.m.
Receiving a Career Passport signifies the completion of a two-year journey for students in their chosen trade, and tells potential employers that they possess the knowledge and skills to be productive, successful employees.
Many students use the Passports and diplomas they receive from their home schools to continue their education at trade schools and/or two– or four-year colleges and universities. Congratulations to all students for their accomplishments! |
