neW lab at ColuMbiana County CtC

Columbiana County Career and Technical Center in
Lisbon, Ohio, has kicked off a new school year that
has been very different from past years. Students
were welcomed by a new materials joining lab and
a completely renovated welding lab with a return
of machining as part of the program. This multi-
million dollar renovation is a long term investment
in the students and the future of the industries in
which they will be employed.

With the addition of the materials joining program,
the welding and fabrication program can now
accept 50 students as opposed to the 25 that could
previously be accepted.
