Auto Collision students in levels 2 and 3 have been working on their final projects. Also, five representatives from Koons visited Edison Academy and conducted job interviews onsite. We are excited for this partnership and for our students to begin working in their body shops.
Electrical Construction students in level 2 and 3 were challenged in their conduit project this month. They had to create a build that met specs and passed inspection.
Electrical Construction students in all three levels visited the local electrical union training facility. They got to see the classrooms, meet instructors, and network with apprentices currently going through the program. Thank you to the Local 26 Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee for hosting us!
The students in Culinary Arts have completed two of the three day competition. Final results and more images are coming soon!
