Rep. Donna Scheuren has announced that the Western Montgomery Career and Technical Center and the North MontCo Tech Career Center have each received $85,000 grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. These funds are intended for updating or purchasing equipment used in training students enrolled in approved career and technical education programs.
The grants are designed to ensure that equipment aligns with employer needs, providing students with hands-on experience as part of their curriculum. Scheuren expressed her enthusiasm for this development: “This is amazing news for CTC students across my district,” she said. “This is a major investment into the programs and education that ready our students for jobs in the trades.”
Scheuren emphasized the importance of expanding technical schools to prepare students for essential roles within Pennsylvania’s economy both now and in the future.
The funding is part of a larger initiative, totaling $4.5 million in competitive grant funding distributed among 58 career and technical centers and school districts.
