With a motto of ‘Teaching skills for a lifetime,’ the Roane-Jackson Technical Center offers a wide variety of hands-on learning opportunities.
Students from both Roane and Jackson counties join together to acquire skills and develop talents in areas such as auto mechanics, law and public safety, welding, education, carpentry and culinary arts.
Those skills and talents were put on display at the West Virginia SkillsUSA competition on March 26 and 27. This state leadership and skills conference took place virtually.
Monica French, teacher and lead advisor of SkillsUSA, said that over 250 students competed state-wide at this year’s event.
“This was the 55th year for the state Skills competition,” she said. “Even though it was virtual, which was a different kind of experience, the students were excited to take part. Last year, the event was cancelled.”
