Hamilton Schools Engineering Center to House Volkswagen Program
Hamilton County Schools will partner with Volkswagen to prepare students at the district's newest career and technical education center for engineering careers, county and company officials announced Thursday.
State Sen. Bo Watson, R-North Chattanooga, said the goal of the center is to provide students and their families with the best opportunities to achieve the education and career success they see for themselves. It needs the private sector to do that, he said.
For years, the business and industry communities have said they need a better trained workforce, but stood on the sidelines while the state struggled to do that, Watson said.
