Our General Building Maintenance students, currently in their carpentry module, surprised our administrative team with an amazing handmade gift — a custom wood iPhone/iPad stand. Thank you for the craftsmanship and the kindness!

Our Accounting students (AC250912) took on a “Puzzling” team‑building challenge as part of their Professional Relationships competency. Working in randomly assigned teams, they strategized, problem‑solved, and reached consensus on how to tackle the task.

Some even found clever tech‑based solutions to support their group. The engagement was incredible—many students jumped in to help other teams once they finished.

This hands‑on activity gave them a real opportunity to experience the value of teamwork and how collaboration builds trust and respect in the workplace.

Our new group of Auto Mechanic students explored the different systems of a car by working in teams. Each group studied a specific system and then presented its findings to the rest of the class.

A great way to build knowledge, teamwork, and confidence while learning how a vehicle really works!
