Visit at Triangle Tech

Today students had the opportunity to visit Triangle Tech of Sunbury. Mr. David Shipe, the Director at the Sunbury trade school, gave a personal tour to eight students from Compass Academy.

Compass Academy students visited all three of the programs offered at Triangle Tech - Carpentry & Construction Technology, Welding & Fabrication Technology, and Maintenance Electricity & Construction Technology.


Faculty from each program took the time to address the Academy students. Along with discussing the specifics of their personal trade skill, all of the instructors also had a common message that they delivered to the students. That message was, "show up!" The most asked question from employers calling about tech students who had applied for jobs is, "What was their attendance like?" Not "how are their grades?" or anything else. Reliability, knowing someone is going to show up for work, is a sought after characteristic.
