"Training essential workers." - That's a commonly used saying at the Schuylkill Technology Center North Campus near Frackville.
"For me, I just learn better hands-on. It just comes naturally to me. It's easier to learn in this type of environment instead of trying to figure it out on a screen," said Kelcie Wasser, a Diesel Technology student.
The trade school, which has a campus in Frackville and another one near Minersville takes a hands-on learning approach.
Right now students are in a hybrid model, but when they're in class, they're able to learn whichever trade they sign up for and get real-world training at school, working toward jobs that are needed and deemed essential.
