MVCTC Electrical Trades Students Receive Tool Bag Awards
Englewood, Ohio -- Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Electrical Trades seniors were recognized on Thursday, January 26, 2017, by the Southwest Ohio Division of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI) for receiving the Annual Tool Bag Awards. Each year the Southwest Ohio Division of the IAEI awards tool bags valued at $250 to Career Centers offering an electrical trades program in the 19 counties they serve.
Dewayne Jenkins, Southwest Ohio Division of the IAEI Vice President and Tool Bag Award Chairman, shared, “This is a great opportunity for young people in the electrical trades to receive some financial assistance for the tools necessary for their career technical class and in the field. Our membership works diligently to provide the funding possible for these needs-based awards each year. “
The MVCTC seniors receiving the Tool Bag Award this year included Mike Bilbrey (Franklin Monroe) and Thomas Applegate (Miamisburg). In order to be considered for the Tool Bag Award, each student needed to submit a letter stating why they needed the tool bags and what they would do with the tools.
Mr. Jenkins spent some time with the students discussing careers in the Electrical Trades field and changes in Electrical Code.
For over 45-years, MVCTC has been providing career technical education for 27 partner school districts encompassing five counties in Southwest Ohio. MVCTC is dedicated to providing in-demand workforce training for youth, adults, and organizations in the Miami Valley.
