A year after a multi-million dollar renovation the Apollo Career Center is in full swing providing training needed to keep the region supplied with qualified workers.
Apollo Superintendent Judy Wells speaking to Lima Rotarians about the project and how they are not only a career training center but an academic provider which is getting their students a step ahead of the game. "We want to make sure that all of our students come to us and have the same great training that they can get in the academic realm as well as the career tech realm that puts them on a level playing field and above because they also have that job possibility in hand as well as post secondary education."
Wells says their adult education is also growing. They have listened to area business and industry on what they need in an employee and have designed programming specifically for that. "Typically at the adult level we serve anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 adult learners per year and because we also have the high school facilities we can expand also at night to even more adult learners and adult programs based on what our partners need."
This fall, Apollo's Adult Education is adding a dental assisting program along with an advanced aesthetics and spa technology program. Wells also announcing that the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy will be returning to the center.
