The Eastern North Carolina Regional Skills Center recently hosted a two-day Career and Technical Education (CTE) Professional Development Collaborative, bringing together CTE educators from Onslow County Schools, Carteret County Public School System, and Craven County Schools. 🤝📚

The event kicked off with an engaging keynote presentation by Rodney Johnson, Jr., setting the stage for two days of collaboration, professional learning, and idea sharing. Teachers had the opportunity to connect with colleagues from neighboring districts, exchange best practices, and begin building cross-county learning cohorts that will continue to strengthen CTE instruction long after the event concludes.

By working together, these educators are expanding their professional networks, sharing innovative strategies, and strengthening career and technical education opportunities for students across Eastern North Carolina. 🌟🔧💡

A great week at the Eastern North Carolina Regional Skills Center Summer Experience 2026 for our rising 10th graders!

06/19/2026

The Eastern Regional Skills Center’s week-long Summer Experience gave rising 10th-grade students from across the Onslow County School System an exciting opportunity to explore future careers through hands-on learning.
Throughout the week, students rotated through nine different career pathways, gaining real-world experience from industry-trained instructors. Culinary session students prepared lunches and baked treats, while Health Sciences sessions involved learing how to administer injections and properly use personal protective equipment. In Firefighter Technology sessions, students operated high-pressure fire hoses, and Welding session students stepped into the booth to create steel weld joints. Automotive Collision session students practiced repairing vehicle body damage through patching techniques.
Additional sessions allowed students to fly drones, operate automotive lifts, design video game elements, and program robots. Led by Eastern Regional Skills Center instructors and supported by OCS Career and Technical Education staff, the Summer Experience provided a dynamic and engaging introduction to the many career and technical education opportunities available at the Eastern North Carolina Regional Skills Center.
The week was filled with discovery and hands-on experiences designed to spark students’ interests and help them envision future career possibilities through attending the Eastern North Carolina Regional Skills Center. 🚒🔧🤖🍳🚁🩺
