As teachers prepare to return to the classroom, Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) hosted 11 educators, a group that included teachers, advisors and school counselors as well as welding and construction teachers from across Central Texas, July 24 at its Safety and Technical Training Center in Marble Falls.
The group attended PEC’s Educator Exploration Day to learn more about the craft and to help promote linework as a potential career path for students interested in trade work.
“We have an incredible state-of-the-art training facility here in Marble Falls and were eager to engage with our area schools to show what we can offer students here locally,” said Mikayla Herron, PEC community outreach specialist. “Our hope is that they’ll take this back to their classrooms to present linework as an option for those interested in serving their community and working to keep the lights on.”
