Jordan Career and Technical Education Home

 

Elk Ridge Middle School students got to participate in an amazing Career Day, JATC Expo, and Job Shadows. Seventh graders got to hear from some amazing presenters, and special guest speaker Alyn Toalepai, President of the Utah Pacific Islander Chamber Of Commerce.  Eighth graders did job shadows they had personally arranged. The ninth graders got some real-life, hands-on course exploration with the Jordan Academy of Technology and Careers (JATC) Expo presented by the JATC Student Ambassadors, started their YouScience Aptitude Assessments, and took a tour of the Career and Technical Education Classes at Bingham High School.

 

Fort Herriman Middle School took 25 CTE students on a tour of Kenworth in West Valley. They saw the sales, service, parts, and collision repair divisions of the company. 
Two weeks before the field trip, guest speakers from Geneva Rock and Kenworth came to Fort Herriman and met with these students to talk about the diesel pathway and industry. 
Special thanks to Jacob Cope - Fort Herriman Middle School CTE Coordinator.

 

Congratulations to Bingham High School automotive student Autotech competitors, Ares Villarruel, Max Mansouri, Alex Young, Caden Kilcrease, and Zachary Nelson who competed in this year’s Annual Automotive Skills contest held at Weber State University.

Auto instructor Aaron Metcalf said they did a “bang up job” earning three spots in round 2 of the competition. And supper excited for Alex Young, who got a First Place Station win.

Stay tuned as we will be seeing Alex, Zachary, and Caden, competing in round 2 of the competition this February 2025. Good Luck! 

 

Our CTE Coordinators proudly attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gail Miller School of Business at SLCC on Friday, November 8th.  This marks the opening of Utah's first business school named after a woman and one of the few nationwide!

CTE Coordinators celebrate this historic milestone and are thrilled to support Salt Lake Community College in this endeavor. Together, we are paving the way for future leaders in business.

Jordan District stands strong with SLCC!
