🚨🚨Bulldogs Industries🚨🚨

Bulldog Industries is FCS’ Workforce Simulation class this year. They will be doing payroll, order fulfillment, marketing, and more in this class!

The pictured items are examples of some things they will be working on. We won’t be a shop, but take orders on specific items during certain times.

All items that we will take orders on and process are items that Bulldog Industries researches, prices, and determines if it would be a good fit for the company. The employees also are making the items and will be using a sublimation printer, Cricut machine, 3 different types of heat presses, and more!

Stay tuned and leave suggestions!

Standing inside the 54-year-old DeKalb County Career Tech Center where generations of students have learned skilled trades, Alabama House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter reflected Friday on how far the state has come—and how much further it hopes to go.

For Ledbetter, a Rainsville native, the unveiling of renderings for the new DeKalb County Career Tech and Fine Arts Center represented more than a construction project. It also served as the launch of the statewide Alabama Career Pathways Program, an initiative designed to connect students with training for high-demand careers and ensure every student has access to the same opportunities, regardless of where they live.

Summer should be full of fun ... not danger.

As school lets out and kids spend more time online, it's more important than ever for parents, grandparents, caregivers, youth leaders, camp staff, church volunteers, and VBS workers to understand the risks children and teens face in today's digital world.

From online predators and sextortion to gaming platforms, social media apps, AI-generated content, and other emerging threats, knowing what to look for can make all the difference.

Join our partners at the Child Trafficking Solutions Project and Children's Aid Society of Alabama for a FREE webinar designed to equip adults with practical tools and information to help keep children safe this summer.

Wednesday, June 17
12:00pm - 1:00pm

This training is for:
- Parents & Guardians
- Grandparents
- Foster & Kinship Caregivers
- Youth Pastors & Church Leaders
- VBS Volunteers
- Summer Camp Staff
- Teachers & Educators
- Anyone who cares about the safety and well-being of children
