Today, our CTE department had the privilege of hosting Rich Mountain Electric Cooperative on campus. John and Jennifer brought incredible energy as they shared what it takes to be part of the REA team. Their passion for serving our community—and their dedication to safety, teamwork, and professionalism—shined through every part of their presentation. They also reminded our students of something so important: your employability skills start now. Showing up, communicating well, taking initiative, and being willing to learn are all habits that open doors long before a job application is ever submitted. We are so grateful for John and Jennifer’s time and encouragement. Opportunities like this help our students see real pathways to success and understand the skills that truly matter in the workplace. 💡 Big thank you to Rich Mountain Electric Cooperative for investing in our future workforce!
