At Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center, we take pride in preparing students for success in the workforce through hands-on training and real-world experience. One of our outstanding students, Ellie Cunningham, is proving just how valuable career-technical education can be.
Ellie, a senior in the Diesel & Heavy Truck Mechanics program, was recently recognized as Employee of the Month at Cardinal Transportation. Her dedication, technical skills, and strong work ethic have made a lasting impression on her employer, demonstrating the kind of impact career-tech students can have in their industries.
Through job placement opportunities, Ellie has been able to apply her classroom knowledge in a professional setting, gaining experience that will set her apart in her career. Employers like Cardinal Transportation recognize the value of hiring students who are industry-trained, hands-on learners—ready to contribute from day one.
“We are thrilled to see Ellie thriving in her role and earning this well-deserved recognition,” said Director of Secondary Education Jason Vesey. “Her success is a testament to the power of career-technical education in building the workforce of tomorrow.”
