Students taking business, social studies and technology classes got a firsthand look into the construction field from The Learn Center’s owners, the Guidi family. They had the opportunity to network and learn the desirable job skills in the construction field. Some students even operated an excavator in the school’s parking lot. The visit provided students with an in-depth look at a field they can pursue after graduation.
