PIQUA Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted toured Piqua’s Upper Valley Career Center (UVCC) Tuesday morning as part of his four-stop visit to the Dayton region to highlight workforce development efforts and to promote the state’s work to champion career, technical, and vocational education.
“This is an impressive school with a lot of impressive teachers and students. Any career, basically, that you want, you can get your start right here,” Husted said. “The students here are leaving the school ready to be employed. What I witnessed today are a number of students signing on to go to work while they’re in school, and when they leave school, to go work with a lot of the area’s employers.”
