2023-2024 Most Successful Year for Industry Certification

The 23-24 school saw new industry certifications, new programs, new teachers, and an amazing amount of industry involvement. Through partnerships with many local businesses, industries, TCAT Crossville, and others our students were involved in new engaging way to learn trades. Through these partnerships, 200 students received an industry certification that they will carry with them after graduation. These certifications include: AWS (American Welding Society), Southwest Airlines Communications, EMR (Emergency Medical Responder), Snap On, Multimeter, ASE (Automotive Service Excellence). We have high hopes to surpass the 23-24 certifications.

Every student at BCCTC has the opportunity to join a Career Technical Service Organization. We currently have advisors for FFA (Formerly Future Farmers of America), DECA (Distributive Educational Club of America), and Skills USA.
