Fifteen students from Life Skills Leon County are dual enrolled at Lively Vo-Tech Institute.

They will receive one year of hands on job training and when finished will be certified in their respective programs.

They will spend four hours per day at Life Skills working on their high school diploma and four hours at Lively completing job training classes.

We salute our future Auto Service Techs, Legal Administrative Assistants, Medical Administrative Assistants, Culinary Operators, Commercial Photographers, Accountants and Commercial Art Technologists.

We will have as our honored guest speaker on Sept. 7, Aarick Hasberry - Executive Chef for Cherry Laurel.

He will do a healthy cooking and nutrition demonstration.
