That's a wrap on our Summer 2026 Internship Program! ☀️

This year, thanks to the support of the Fremont Area Community Foundation and NC RESA, we were able to provide internship opportunities for 12 students across Newaygo County.

A huge thank you to our amazing business and community partners who welcomed, trained, and encouraged our interns:
Newaygo County Probate Court, Grant Public Schools, Camp Newaygo, NC RESA, Roberts Sinto Corporation, Hesperia Public Schools, NCCA Artsplace, Camp Henry, Ed Hening County Park, Newaygo County Emergency Services, and the Commission on Aging.

We're proud to report that every intern gained valuable real-world experience, and even more exciting, three interns were offered ongoing employment with their internship sites! 🎉

Thank you for investing your time, expertise, and support in our students. We couldn't do this without you, and we're grateful for the difference you're making in preparing the future workforce.
❤️

Thank you for a great summer!

The Career-Tech Center is saying goodbye to two special members of our team, Dan and Malinda Ward, as they begin exciting new adventures.

Dan spent many years preparing students for success in Automotive Technology, and while this may be his second farewell, his impact on students and our program will be remembered for years to come.

Malinda served as a dedicated Business Applied Technology Para-pro whose support and commitment helped students succeed every day.

Thank you both for your years of service, commitment, and the positive difference you've made at the Career-Tech Center. We wish you happiness, wonderful memories, and all the best in the years ahead!
