⚙️🏗️ T.E.A.L. Tuesday at The Ferry! 🐯✨

Each month, our Bengals explore a new career cluster and a local college that can help turn those career interests into real-world opportunities!

🔧 October’s Career Cluster: Advanced Manufacturing & Construction

This cluster is all about designing, building, creating, repairing, and improving the world around us. From engineers and architects to welders, electricians, construction managers, manufacturing technicians, HVAC professionals, and more, there are SO many ways for students to put their creativity, problem-solving skills, and hands-on talents to work! 🏗️⚙️🛠️

🎓 October’s College Spotlight: Horry-Georgetown Technical College

We’re especially excited about this one because HGTC is right in our own community! Students can prepare for high-demand careers through hands-on programs in areas such as Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Welding, Building Construction, Electrical Technology, HVAC, Industrial Maintenance, Drafting & Design, and more.

And there’s BIG news happening right here in Georgetown! 📣 HGTC’s Georgetown Campus is building a new state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing Training Facility, giving future students access to modern technology, equipment, and real-world learning experiences. How cool is it for our Bengals to see opportunities connected to this month’s career cluster growing right in their own backyard?! 🤩

Different careers. Brighter futures. 💡
T.E.A.L. = Thriving Academics • Empowering Futures • Ambitious Goals • Leaders in Training
