A pair of 亨廷顿 North High School students made their post-graduation plans official at the 亨廷顿 County 社区 Learning recently.

Seniors Landin Plasterer and Hayden Beard signed paperwork to begin their respective professional careers while completing their high school studies.

Plasterer began an internship as a welder at Novae Corporation in January while completing the welding courses at the Learning Center, and Beard began his law enforcement career as a jailer at the 亨廷顿 County Jail in February.

“My internship is giving me a lot of experience,” Plasterer said of his decision to join the workforce. “I feel my productivity and quality of welding will only be better because I did this internship while still in high school.”

Learning Center welding instructor 艾伦岩溶 credits Plasterer’s opportunity to get started at Novae to his focus within the program over the last two years.

“His dedication and perseverance to his education is starting to pay off with dual credits, OSHA, and AWS certifications and now an internship to get his career started,喀斯特说。.

While working at the jail, Beard also plans to continue his post-secondary education at Indiana Wesleyan University.

“The Criminal Justice program has given me the chance to explore opportunities for my desired career, younger than most people,比尔德说, who plans to major in Criminal Justice and minor in Ministry. “Working at the jail now helps me learn how to talk to people with different backgrounds better than a typical student who hasn’t dealt with intense situations.”

Learning Center criminal justice instructor Terry Stoffel said it is Beard’s commitment to the field that sets him apart.

“I feel he will go far in this area and exceed normal expectations,” Stoffel said. “He does a good job in class and is an excellent student. It has been an honor to have such an esteemed student in my class.”
