ALLISON PARK, Jan. 14 – State Rep. Arvind Venkat, D-Allegheny, announced that an $85,000 state grant was awarded to A.W. Beattie Career Center to help local residents chart their own course through career and technical education programs.
Specifically, the career center’s funds will go toward modernizing its Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Firefighting and related programs with a new ambulance trainer package.
“Pursuing a traditional college degree is not always the goal for young people, as many wish to serve their community by joining the ranks of emergency services or pursuing a trade,” Venkat said. “A.W. Beattie does tremendous work in helping to prepare high school students for these types of careers, and these monies will bolster their efforts to give students a more accurate example of the skills needed to succeed.”
A.W. Beattie’s grant dollars are made possible by the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Competitive Equipment Grant program. A list of all the awardees is available here.
