Cox said the new career center is not designed to take students from the ATC , but that it will instead supplement the local programs . Corbin students will still be able to work in areas such as aeronautics , nursing , welding , auto mechanics and industrial maintenance at the ATC , but will now also have the opportunity to explore construction trades at the career center . Cox said that it would be possible for students to participate in

both programs throughout their high school career .

“ Chris Smith and his staff do a wonderful job and basically have a full house in their building ,” Cox said on the ATC . “ We want to be able to build off of their success . We believe there are plenty of students who will be interested in a program of this nature , especially when they investigate the job market for these types of jobs and the potential salaries for competent workers ,” he continued . “ We must do a better job of educating the students as to the benefits of all the programs at both the ATC and the Career Center .”

Superintendent Cox stated that although Corbin has expanded its programs and school in the past , this particular project has provided its own unique set of challenges .

“ In the past , we have built new buildings or renovated existing structures and moved our students and staff in ,” he said . “ However with the Career Center initiative , we will be recruiting students , educating the public , and also finding new instructors for the programs . This has been something we have thought about for a long time and it is very exciting to see the process get started .”
