SEPAC September Meeting
This week, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Construction Career Pre-Apprenticeship Program, we are performing sidewalk replacement at the Main Entrance of the Westfield Technical Academy.
The project is sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Transit (MA DOT) to prepare students to enter the workforce as road/construction repair technicians. This is the third year WTA has collaborated with the training program in replacing worn out sections of flagstone sidewalk around the Main Entrance. In addition to gaining valuable hands-on skills, participating students will also receive their CPR/First Aid Certifications.
We are grateful to the MA DOT and Massachusetts Construction Career Pre-Apprenticeship Program for their ongoing partnership and commitment to WTA and its students!
