(WHBL) – First responders, EMTs, acute healthcare workers and criminal justice specialists are always in high demand, and training them is the job of Lakeshore Technical College. When COVID interrupted the academic year, many who were close to completing their education found themselves in limbo, but LTC Dean of Public Safety and Energy Ryan Skabroud said they’re optimistic about getting those students through their face-to-face training and completing their certifications. Some, like Medical Assistant students who returned to campus April 27th, will be hired as soon as they complete their coursework in early June.
Others, such as Mechatronics, CNC Techs and electromechanical students will be needed to maintain critical infrastructure and food manufacturing, and those classes resume May 11th.
Skabroud emphasized that physical distancing including limited class size, use of PPE, and stringent cleaning and hygiene rules are in place, and everyone will be wearing masks and subject to daily temperature checks.
