Schuylkill Technology Center North & South to Host Open Houses

The North and South Campuses of the Schuylkill Technology Center will host open houses in March.

The Schuylkill Technology Center will host an Open House on Wednesday, March 6, 2019 (Snow Date of March 13, 2019) from 6-8pm at both the North and South Campuses. The theme for this event is “Collecting 21st Century Skills.” Prospective students will be given a bingo card upon arrival and will have the opportunity to perform a hands-on skill in each of the programs of study to earn a bingo stamp. They can then turn in their bingo cards at the end of the evening for a chance to win a flat screen television. “This is a great opportunity for students to get a glimpse at the types of tasks they might do if they enrolled in STC as well as learn more about the programs of study and meet our faculty,” said Shannon Brennan, STC Director.

During the Open House, parents will have a chance to learn more about career pathways from some industry partners, like Hydro, Millers Bros. Construction, Auto Zone and the Central Pennsylvania’s Carpenter Union who work closely with STC as cooperative educational sites and advisory committee members. “The industry partnerships are an invaluable resource in helping parents see where an educational experience from STC can lead,” said T.J. Fitzpatrick, Cooperative Education Coordinator.

The Grille at the South Campus and The Restaurant at the North Campus, which are restaurants operated by the STC Culinary Programs, will be open for business during the Open House.
