Congratulations to October’s Adult Education Student of the Month, Cosmetology student Liz Miller!
Miller, from Dover, is a Dover High School graduate and works at Gordon Milk Transport and Texas Roadhouse. Miller enrolled in the Cosmetology program to secure the cosmetology license she attempted to earn in high school. Plus, she was able to work in classes around her work schedule. Outside of work and school, Miller is a trustee at her church and a buddy for the Tuscarawas County Challenger’s baseball team. Her instructor, Ms. Jessica Bland, nominated her for the honor. “Liz is a great student and is someone you can count on. She is a hard worker that cares and wants to do well,” commented Bland. Miller plans to work in a salon once she graduates.
Our Welding students recently visited the Ironworkers Local 550 Training Center for some hands-on learning! Students had the opportunity to work in their welding booths, practice tying rebar, and explore other skills used in the ironworking industry. It was a great experience for our students to see how their welding skills can translate into future career opportunities!
