CLEARFIELD – Alex Collins attended the Clearfield County Career & Technology Center (CCCTC) for two years and graduated in 2016.
He was a student in the welding and metal fabrication program. During his time at CCCTC, he said the experience he gained gave him a strong foundation for life after graduation.
The skills he learned while attending the CCCTC helped him have a better way of studying when he was in basic training.
He explained that learning hands-on at the CCCTC and “studying” that way helped him learn that way in the Navy. Collins spent almost five months in basic training in Texas for security forces.
Collins is only one example of how CCCTC graduates use their education to strengthen the industry in their field of study.
