speaking of being impressed, we thought a trip back to a brand new Northeast career and Technical Academy was in order.

Not only is the campus spectacular, but the district's newest CTA offers the very first energy technology program in Nevada.

energy technologies is just awesome.

I think it's just so cool just working with electricity.

well, right now we're learning about circuits and like plugs and how energy and volts and all that stuff.

So we pretty much start them off with, you know, what is voltage amps, watts ohms and we get them understanding basic electricity fundamentals and then we bring them into the career field we got the idea from Mark Panos, so I can't take credit for that.

But it's it's a nationwide program that's a career tree.

And so every one of our ten programs has the three levels within the career tree.

And every student can answer the question, what's their first job or their life in that tree?

I show that I wanted to be a power plant technician just to see what it would be like I would say it's more hands on, so you get to explore different, um, like, items like you learn, but you also get to see, like, how everything works in person.

So when you go into your career job, you're aware of what to do.

We get them aligned with whatever pathway they want to, whether they want to get into solar or solar voltaic or they want to get in to wind generation turbines, or they go into hydroelectric or even geothermal.

I hope to become an aerospace engineer.

You know, like, uh, designing all those cool planes that fly over you at Nellis.

Yeah.

Those planes are awesome.

I want students to understand their path and for them to choose it.

This generation is highly motivated when they believe in a why.

These jobs are going to be exploding and we need a workforce that is prepared to take on that responsibility Right now, Nektar has only freshmen and sophomores.

It also offers another first of its kind program for students interested in social work.
