AWT provides opportunities to train educators on machinery to inform them of career pathways for
students. AWT also offers the same opportunities to students to come in and explore the machinery
as well as participate in training workshops.
Supporting districts in applying for State Department of Education and Workforce CTE grants has been
another avenue in which the BAC is helping students prepare and successfully enter the workforce. Four
of our districts, Madison, Riverside, Mentor and Kirtland were awarded CTE grants. The BAC will

that will afford students more onsite learning and training opportunities for future careers.
