The Employability Skills class challenged themselves by expanding their hands-on learning into the idea of a growth mindset; while also embarking on an exciting new project. They launched the TC Cafe this week! Students took online orders from teachers and ran the cafe in the lobby for students. They served gourmet hot chocolate, tea, and homemade rice cripy treats (that they made!) This initiative offered students a practical learning experience in customer service, money skills, and entrepreneurship. They were inspired to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to challenges they faced, ultimately encouraging a sense of responsibility and boosting their confidence.
The Tech Center wishes our students and their families a healthy and restful holiday break. Students return January 6.

We are excited to announce our Winter lineup of courses! Give someone you love the gift of education and learn a new skill! Register today!
