We couldn’t be prouder of our woodshop students and ALL the incredible work they do! From learning hands-on skills to creating projects that showcase thought out craftsmanship, creativity, and pride in their work. These students are building more than just projects; they’re building confidence, problem solving skills, and collaboration. 

Thank you to their wonderful instructor, Andre for guiding them and inspiring them! ✨👏🏼✨

🩺 Hands on learning! 🩺

Barbs high school CNA students took their skills to the next level this week in the lab. Barb set up a realistic simulation where every “patient” was treated as if they had Covid. This allowed them to practice proper PPE use, along with practicing their CPR skills. What a great learning experience! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

✨On behalf of the Carbon County Higher Education Center team and the CCHEC Foundation we would like to extend our gratitude to Sondergard TGF for their generosity and continued support!
 
At our Storybook Gala last week, we were honored to announce the first contribution of $10,000 to The Steve Sondergard Education Fund, made by Ryta Sondergard, in memory of her late husband Steve. 
 
A portion of the scholarship fund will go directly towards helping students pursue careers in healthcare, building a stronger, healthier future for all of us. Your donation doesn’t just make a difference, it creates one. It opens doors to new opportunities, fosters growth, and inspires positive change. Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the next generation. We’re honored to have partners like Sondergard TGF by our side. ✨💛✨

What's happenin' at CCHEC? 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Grant Righting: Write Grants the Right Way workshop last week. Participants spent the afternoon learning how to craft strong proposals, identify funding opportunities, and they got to tell their story in a way that stands out. 

A special thank you to Stacy Crimmins, from Crimmins Associates for leading such an informative and engaging session.
