Free Program On Technical Career Options For Youths

A free program is being held at the Career and Technical Center in Port Allegany to introduce area youth to technical job opportunities in the region, and to educate their parents about these options. Students will participate in a skills development activity, tour the facility and work on projects in the center’s labs — changing the oil in a car, laser-engraving a wood product, building a small piece of furniture, developing a website, designing a newsletter, upgrading a computer and cooking. Dates are June 11-12 for students entering grades 5-6, and June 13-14 for students entering grades 7–9. The course will run from 7:30 to 3:30. For more information or to register, call (814) 545-1333.
