“Pennsylvania’s career and technical centers provide students with the tools, skills and hands-on training they need to confidently and successfully enter the workforce,” Senator Collett said. “I’m proud to support the CTCs serving my district and know these funds and upgrades will allow students to better compete in a number of in-demand industries – from nursing and firefighting to construction and engineering.”

  • Central Montco Technical High School: $80,000
