Masonry 3 students at WCCTEC recently took classroom learning to the next level with a big project: measuring, grading, and pouring a concrete slab for the Welding Shop. This new slab will soon hold an outdoor welding booth -- perfect for practicing outdoor welding and tackling larger projects that won't fit inside.
Under the CTE Work-Based Learning Program, students took on jobsite roles just like the pros:
👷♂️Foreman: Colton F.
📐Estimator: Dalton A. (with math skills from his Data Analysis class!)
🛠️Crew Members: Clayton C., Levi B., Brayden P., and Dakota S.
From calculating materials and labor needs to cutting asphalt and clearing debris, this crew did it all -- and wrapped up the slab on Monday, August 25, meeting professional construction standards.
Huge thanks to Masonry Instructor Johnny Blevins for his guidance and to Mr. Gene Greer's Carpentry class for lending a hand. Teamwork truly makes the dream work at Washington County Career & Technical Education Center!
