The program will be NCCER certified and therefore students will be able to earn the necessary certifications for employment. During the week of October 21, instructor Steve Bagg will be attending an Instructor Certification Training Program (ICTP) as part of the accreditation process.

Business Management
This week, both the Accounting and Administrative Office Specialist students introduced the first edition of our monthly newsletter. The students are both the reporters and publishers. This publication records information about our students as well activities and events in classrooms and Lake Tech. Kelsey Tracy and Bradley Bryant are shown proudly displaying the first edition—hot off the press—from MS Publisher. If you would like a copy, please let me know.
This week we celebrated several accomplishments. Rosella Williams is shown with Ms. Stephan and Dr. Culpepper as she is awarded the My Florida Ready to Work Certificate. Stephanie Armstrong has earned her OCP C certificate. Congratulations to Rosella and Stephanie! Caitlyn Lewis, a dual enrolled student, is shown describing a project that she is doing for her high school. She is collecting used “prom” and “homecoming” dresses that she will give to students in need at three high schools in her area. She is dressed for “American pride” day at her high school.
In our classes, we worked on understanding different filing methods and record retention management as well as problem solving in College Accounting.
