PINSON — Pinson Valley High School Career Tech students experienced how hard work pays off after they were given the opportunity to advance their careers right out of high school.
The students took their learned trades and skills before industry professionals and some students were able to sign on for jobs. According to Industrial Maintenance instructor Lensey King, some students had on-the-spot interviews from the likes of IBEW, Thompson Tractor, Akins and Kimbrough Mechanical, ESC Central, Birmingham and Associates, and others.
“With graduation knocking at the door, PVHS students see the countless opportunities available outside of traditional college,” said King. “With the Alabama industrial revolution upon us, companies are hiring high school students with industry credentials.”
PVHS senior Antonial Temple was offered a position at ESC Central. King said Temple will be able to use his solid foundation in electronics and customer service in his new job while pursuing a degree in electronics.
