Description:

This award provides funding to Washington County Schools to establish the Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington Career Tech Innovation Center (CTIC) at the Washington County Early College High School in Creswell. This project will align the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program with local business and industry needs, foster collaboration among economically disadvantaged school districts, and ensure all students can access CTE pathways in high-demand fields. CTIC, supported by a dedicated coordinator, will offer a diverse range of CTE courses, work-based learning, and career advising in collaboration with Beaufort County Community College. In the initial phase, students can attain EMT/EMR, NC Firefighter, Welding, and Nurse Assisting certifications. Golden LEAF support is expected to result in over 500 students successfully completing a funded CTE pathway and over 100 students having the opportunity to gain practical work-based learning experience. Hyde, Tyrrell, and Washington Hyde county public schools will collectively contribute $1.2M to support salaries, equipment, supplies, student transportation, administrative costs, and instructional aids. Golden LEAF funds will be used for equipment, supplies, student transportation, instructional resources, professional development, and renovations.
