MONTGOMERY Ala.
Trenholm State
Technical College
wants high school educators to know that the path to a career doesn’t always go
through a four-year college.
Alabama’s
growing automotive industry makes that message even more appropriate, Trenholm
leaders say.
More than 30 educators math and science teachers and school
counselors just wrapped up two weeks of seminars designed to give them insight
into what Trenholm offers, especially for students who may want to work in the
automotive industry.
The Automotive Manufacturing Summer Institute gave the
educators a look inside Trenholm, and most of the participants were highly
impressed.
Linda Bednarski, who teaches science at Jefferson
Davis High School
in Montgomery, said the lessons
made it clear that high schoolers need more classes in some areas even after
graduating from high school.
“The most important thing is I understand how
industries use math and science on a continual basis,” she said.
