Students were given a tour of the lab and KCCC students explained what goes on each day. We love partnering with our associate schools for field trips like this!

The Knox County Career Center Building Trades program recognized seven students who earned the status of “Building Trades Elite.”
“Building Trades Elite” (BT Elite) is a program generated by Colby Clippinger, KCCC Building Trades instructor, and the KCCC Building Trades Advisory Council that began in 2019-2020. The program’s criteria centers around attendance, discipline, industry credentialing, and extracurricular activities. A point system is set up where students earn points for attendance, grades, industry credentialing, and extracurricular activities. Students can lose points for being tardy, absent, and for discipline issues. In order to earn “BT Elite” status, students must earn 250 points and must maintain 250 points or higher until graduation to keep the “BT Elite” status.
The “BT Elite” program is completely company-sponsored according to Clippinger. Students who earn “BT Elite” status are awarded a hoodie and an interview shirt. The companies pay for the hoodies and interview shirts. The hoodie has the Building Trades Elite crest on the back along with the company sponsors. The student’s name and “BT Elite” are on the front of the hoodie. The interview shirt has “BT Elite” and the student’s name on the front.
Students (pictured L to R) James Bennett, Pierce Leasure, Jayden Flack, Coen Frazier, and Ayden Kennedy along with Blake Green and Kadence Mickley (not pictured) earned “BT Elite” status recently and received their hoodies and interview shirts. Fifty-nine students from the Building Trades program have now earned “BT Elite” status since its inception.

Students in Build Your Future class conducted an informational job interview with the General Manager at We Luv Pets. Students learned about employee expectations for both animal care and customer service. We appreciate local businesses taking time out of their busy days to help us learn about expectations at different businesses in order for students to find what will work for them.
Strong communities are built on strong partnerships! This #CTEMonth, we're celebrating the incredible collaborations between our career centers and local industry partners who help make student success possible.
