HARRISBURG, Nov. 28 – State Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria, today announced the Greater Johnstown Career and Technical Center is the recipient of a $35,517 equipment state grant to help prepare students for 21st-century occupations.
The funding will be used to purchase two mini-cnc machines for computer numerical-controlled machining, a computerized vehicle diagnostic tool and an analytical balance that is designed to measure amounts in the sub-milligram range.
"In today's high-demand fields, specialized training is often needed, and the purchase of these tools invests in our future workforce by giving students hands-on training on the equipment required in 21st-century jobs," Burns said. "Students will be able to hit the ground running when they enter the workforce, which enable them to get good jobs and strengthen our economy."
The CTE Equipment Grant is awarded through the Department of Education. Greater Johnstown CTC was one of 38 career and technical education and vocational technical education schools to be awarded this competitive grant.
