CATEC’s Siller Pollinator Company bees produced their first batch of honey! Did you know we had two hives thriving on CATEC property near the Cultivate Charlottesville gardens? We’re looking forward to seeing what wonderful culinary creations our Culinary Arts program will come up with using the honey.

Another big shout out to one of our summer hires, Electricity student Zion Gant-Washington. Zion will be returning to CATEC next year for Electricity 2. He always brings a smile to everyone’s face when you talk to him.
Big shout out to 2022 CATEC Fire Science grad Carter Hall! At CATEC, we don’t just hire out to local businesses, we hire for our own school too! Carter, an AHS graduate, leaves for Army basic training this fall. In the meantime, he’s working at CATEC to make our building look amazing when school starts again! Thank you Carter! And we love the haircut.
What amazing feedback from Chef Charlie Figueroa from Farmington Country Club about their recent Culinary Arts hires. We love hearing how our graduates are doing in our local workforce. Let us know how your CATEC alum is doing! @CulinaryCatec

Attention Cosmetology employers! CATEC’s Cos program is expanding to ensure our local salons have new employees that are trained for today’s salon needs.
The program is expanding its internship program to have 2nd year students actively working and training in salon 1-2 times per week as well as evening and Saturdays when needed.
The program is also working to perfect its job shadow program for its 1st year students. Students will be required to shadow in a salon each nine weeks.
Cos teachers Mrs. Brown and Ms. Waller hope, in both of these endeavors, to create a win-win-win situation for employers, the program, and students! It is VERY important to CATEC when our students complete that they are salon-ready at the entry-level.
Please share with local salons! If you’re a salon who is interested in launching this new work-based learning opportunity, contact these instructors for more information!
We're so excited our video CATEC: Better Futures has been released. Check it out on YouTube, TikTok, FB, Twitter, IG, and our website!
