Inaugural Launch for Career EXCELerate
College and partners begin a first-of-its-kind job training program.
The first group of students enrolled in Career EXCELerate, a unique career-training program offered in partnership with Goodwill NCW and Rawhide Youth Services, started classes in January at the FVTC Appleton campus.
This program is available at no cost to individuals who continue to face ongoing challenges or the lingering impact from the pandemic and would benefit from additional job training and support services as they re-enter the workforce.
Programs are being offered in eight career paths where workers continue to be in high demand. They include Nursing Assistant, Early Childhood Teacher Aide, Woodworking Technician, Pipe Trades, Welding Fundamentals, Industrial Manufacturing Technician Apprentice, Professional Truck Driving and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Maintenance. While the first cohort has begun classes, several programs will start again in the summer; truck driving will start new training classes monthly.
Career EXCELerate was launched in 2022. The goal of the program is to serve 400+ individuals through the 2024 calendar year. To explore eligibility, learn more at www.fvtc.edu/CE.
