CareerTech Horizon 1-8: “Back In the Swing of Things”
Has the time come for you to transition back to your normal life? Does the uncertainty of going back to school or work amidst a pandemic give you stress and anxiety?
In this episode, CareerTech Horizon takes you inside one technology center to see how they navigated their reopening with a new program for students and plenty of guidelines to keep everyone safe.
At Tri County Tech in Bartlesville, we take a look at the newly revamped "Skills To Rebuild" program, designed to train students quickly for new careers in the areas hardest hit by the pandemic.
We sit down with Tri County Tech's CEO and Superintendent Lindel Fields and ask about how the tech center approached the shutdown and the reopening, and what this means for the future of education.
Finally, we call up CareerTech's own Dr. Steven Aragon, a cognitive psychologist who has some advice on how to navigate these uncertain times with your family.
