She added that Tom Creasy from TCAT in Pulaski was also at the meeting to give the group information on certifications, so that when students graduate from high school they would be certified as production techs, and about the four modules included in this program. This could be used as dual enrollment; if this could be worked out, TCAT would give the system half of the dual enrollment to help with the cost of the tests. Also discussed was TCAT using the Vocational School at night to teach skills to students who are recent graduates (19- to 25-year-old population).
