Trion High School students were among the high school students who had a chance to explore various industrial career pathways and educational opportunities during Georgia Northwestern Technical College’s (GNTC) Industrial Career Day on Friday, Oct. 29, at the Floyd County Campus in Rome.

This was the second Industrial Career Day that GNTC has held this academic year. The first one took place at the Whitfield Murray Campus in Dalton on Oct. 1. Both events were designed to give students insight into the benefits of learning a skilled trade.

“Being able to safely host an event of this magnitude is a game changer for the students, their families and our area high schools,” said Jason Gamel, director of recruitment at GNTC. “It helps them learn more about our industrial programs, while they work towards decisions on their future.”

Featured GNTC industrial programs included Air Conditioning Technology, Automation Engineering Technology, Automotive Technology, Automotive Collision Repair, Construction Management, Electrical Systems Technology, Flooring Production Technician, Industrial Systems Technology, Instrumentation and Controls, Precision Machining and Manufacturing and Welding and Joining Technology.
