Seamless education, high school to CC, Industrial Systems Technology, Biotech, perhaps Programmable Logic Controller. The theme will be seamless education. We will use ninth- through twelfth-grade high school students, first- and second-year college students and a seamless education avenue that shows and allows students to travel down several paths, to include four-year colleges, maintenance employment, bio-tech employment, and PLC employment. Our desire is to show the options that a student starting in the ninth grade would have when all educational entities work together for the student's benefit and also to allow for many student options.
