BLOOMINGDALE Health care has been a consistent frontrunner in the career field and the health technologies program at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School has continued its mission to supply the demand for workers.
From nurses to phlebotomists, the program has churned out employees in all aspects of the industry. Instructor Tammy Sismondo said about 80 percent of her graduates move on to further their education with the largest percentage in nursing to medical assisting.

This is the time of the year when students begin to sign up for their classes for next year. In the past, the Copper Country ISD would host students from all of the local school for half day tours of the Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes that are open to all students. Unfortunately, with COVID this was not possible. The CCISD has instead produced pamphlets and a booklet on all their classes for local schools to share with their students and parents.
I asked our CTE staff and some students to provide me with a few highlights of what future students can look forward to if they took their CTE class. I encourage parents who are reading this article to have conversations with their son or daughter on the benefits of CTE.
