Brookland and GCT Visit BRTC for CTC Preview Days

On Wednesday, March 12, high school students from Brookland and Greene County Tech visited the Black River Technical College (BRTC) Paragould campus for a Career and Technical Center (CTC) Preview Day.

The students toured the Paragould campus to see what in-person classes were offered and to learn about other classes they could take through the CTC program. They also got to visit a phlebotomy class and watch the students practice.

BRTC's Career and Technical Center is a free program which enables high school juniors and seniors to get a head start on a career after high school. Students can graduate with their high school diploma as well as with a BRTC certificate at the same time, ready to go right into the workforce. The CTC program is funded by the Office of Skills Development.
