CHAMBERSBURG- In a testament to the power of Work Based Learning initiatives at the Franklin County Career and Technology Center, Mr. Wagaman’s Building Construction Trades students recently showcased their skills in a hands-on project that transcended traditional classroom boundaries. Venturing across campus, these talented students undertook the construction of a structure for the Teens & Greens retail greenhouse, situated adjacent to the brand-new greenhouse cooler utilized by Mr. Perry’s Landscaping & Horticulture team.
Embodying the essence of Work Based Learning, this collaborative endeavor not only provided students with practical experience but also highlighted the value of real-world application of their knowledge and skills. By engaging in such projects, students are not only honing their technical abilities but also fostering a sense of creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving in a dynamic environment.
The fusion of classroom learning with practical, hands-on experiences exemplifies the ethos of Work Based Learning at Franklin County Career and Technology Center. By encouraging students to step out of traditional confines and engage in tangible projects like constructing structures for real-world applications, the institution is nurturing a generation of skilled, innovative professionals ready to make meaningful contributions in their chosen fields.
