"Carpentry and construction, HVAC, electrical and plumbing, all the things we need in our homes," shares CI North Director Jean Laswell.  "We have aviation flight for those interested in becoming pilots. We have automotive technology. Our students are very, very fortunate because they can get started on a career before they even leave high school."
