Unplug to Recharge -
Unplug to Recharge is a campaign that raises awareness about cellphone overuse and encourages people to take intentional breaks from their screens. While phones help us stay connected, learn new things, and capture memories, too much screen time can take us away from real life moments, relationships, and our own well being. This campaign promotes being present, setting healthy boundaries with technology, and making time to recharge mentally and emotionally just like we recharge our devices.
By unplugging more often, we can reconnect with ourselves, the people around us, and the world beyond the screen.
(Members: Madison Green, Maggie Kiker, Rissa Kintzel, Emmanuella Setuabe, Lily Tenny)

Huge shout out to Donovin Lindsay from Premier Career 🙌 for presenting to our CPACTC Cooperative Education Capstone students today on Understanding the Resume and helping students get career ready.

Donovan challenged students with a powerful question: Do you know how to stand out?

His advice 👇
✔️ Craft a plan
✔️ Determine the industry you want to work in
✔️ Identify the roles you’re targeting
✔️ Know your salary range
✔️ Search consistently and intentionally

Practical, motivating, and exactly what our students need as they prepare for what’s next. Thank you for sharing your expertise and inspiring our future professionals!

Big shoutout to Tyler Hoak, a Level 3 Masonry student from Red Land HS, who’s laying the foundation for success! 🧱👏

Tyler is currently completing his Cooperative Education Capstone placement with CPACTC employer-partner, The Witmer Group. He recently placed 🥇 1st in the SkillsUSA District Masonry Competition, and he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

This past Friday, Mr. Dennis Comp, Training & Development Specialist, invited Tyler into the shop to work on a special project to help him prepare for the state competition: an incredible example of real-world mentorship in action.

CPACTC truly appreciates all that our employer partners do to help students prepare for the world of work. We value the time, effort, and dedication they invest in helping our students succeed both in the classroom and on the job.
