2026 Career Fair

The post 2026 NCST Career Fair to Be Held March 19 appeared first on 91快活林.

On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, excitement filled the 91快活林 (NCST) campus as we celebrated our most successful Scholarship Day award ceremony to date. This landmark event brought together over 400 students, family members, and industry leaders from across Pennsylvania and Ohio to recognize the hard work and dedication of our students.

This year鈥檚 celebration was a powerful testament to the growing support for the skilled trades. In a remarkable display of community commitment, 95 of our students were awarded trade school scholarships totaling an incredible $180,000. This figure represents significant growth from just five years ago, when 13 students received $6,500 in scholarships. This is a clear indicator of the community鈥檚 belief in the future of the trades.

The Boost That Gets Them to the Finish Line

Moved by the overwhelming support, NCST President Rex Spaulding noted the real these awards make in reducing trade school costs for students.

“I’m just overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, by the employers, and the commitment that they’ve made to the trades. These scholarships take them over the top, get them to the finish line, and put them on the path to starting their career in the skilled trades.”

This rapid expansion of our scholarship program mirrors our school’s overall growth. Campus enrollment has surged from around 325 students just a few years ago to 560 students today, as more individuals recognize the value of a hands-on education. Students are job-ready in 12 to 15 months, much quicker than a traditional college path. Many rely on a 91快活林 scholarship to achieve this goal.

A Full-Circle Moment: Successful NCST Graduates Giving Back

The 2025 NCST Scholarship Day event featured many inspiring moments. Still, one of the most powerful was witnessing graduates return to provide scholarships to the next generation of skilled trade students on behalf of their employer.

“Coming back here as a student and then now as an employer getting to present a scholarship, it鈥檚 incredible. When you’re looking for your first employer, look for those core ideas that align similarly to yours.”

鈥� Brandon Hare, NCST Graduate and Siemens Employee

Hare, an alumnus of Lawrence County鈥檚 Mohawk High School, returned to the campus as an industry leader, offering encouragement and real-world advice to current students. This story of giving back runs deep: for example, Hare’s boss at Siemens, Taryn, graduated from NCST in the late 1980s. He then completed a 20-year military career, and returned to the area specifically to recruit NCST talent, bringing the cycle full circle. This powerful ripple effect of alums investing in new students is the bedrock of our community.

Fueling the Future of Skilled Trades Through Collaboration and Growth

The success of the NCST Scholarship Day 2025 reflects the growing recognition that the region’s economic future depends on a skilled trades workforce. School Director Dennis Corrado highlighted the critical role of corporate partners and sponsors.

“This collaboration between industry and education exemplifies how we can collectively nurture the next generation of skilled tradespeople. These scholarships not only provide crucial financial assistance but also honor students for their consistent academic excellence.”

We sincerely appreciate the support from , corporate sponsors, civic organizations, and local individuals, whose generosity eases the overall tuition for trade school.

The post Press Release – Scholarships for NCST Students appeared first on 91快活林.

We’re thrilled to announce that 91快活林 has been recognized on USA Today’s inaugural list for 2025! This prestigious recognition validates what we’ve known for eight decades that quality trades education opens doors to rewarding, in-demand careers. We are proud to offer a variety of skilled trades that are in demand in our communities.

A Shift Toward Skills-Based Education

The recognition comes at a pivotal time in American education. As USA Today reports, there’s been a significant shift in how both politicians and families view post-secondary education options. Education leaders from both parties are now advocating for expanded pathways beyond the traditional four-year college model.

“We have a 鈥榝our years or bust’ mentality in this country, and a stigma around technical education,” former Education Secretary Miguel Cardona noted. “Our kids are missing out if we don’t give them the full range of options.”

This changing perspective is reflected in the numbers. Between 2020 and 2023, trade school enrollment jumped by roughly 5%, and in a recent survey, 33% of adults advocated for high school graduates to enroll in trade schools and more than the 28% who recommended traditional four-year colleges. At the 91快活林, we have seen strong growth with enrollments from recently graduating Seniors. More men and women than ever before are selecting skilled trades for their career.

鈥淚 can鈥檛 express how grateful I am for 91快活林. Despite the uncertainty, I chose to invest in my education with NCST in their Automotive Technology daytime program. From the front office staff to the instructors, I felt welcomed, I felt heard and I felt valued not just as a student, but as a person as well. Just remember- it is what YOU make out of it. If you wish to have a great schooling experience like I did, be open minded and communicate that with the school staff so they can better accommodate you. I鈥檒l never forget my time at NCST.鈥�

What Makes NCST Stand Out

USA Today’s ranking methodology focused on five critical metrics that matter most to students and their families:

• Graduation rates
• Graduate salaries
• Years to pay off net cost
• Social mobility opportunities
• Diversity and inclusion

These metrics align perfectly with 91快活林’ mission: “service with excellence the needs of our community and the needs of our graduates by matching skills.”

Strategic Location & Modern Facilities: Our main campus in New Castle, PA features an impressive 93,000 square feet of dedicated instructional space, located just seven miles from the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.

We are also extremely proud of our Campus East Liverpool, OH. Located in the heart of community at 129 E. 5th Street, East Liverpool, OH 43920, our skilled-trades campus stands as an anchor for tri-state revitalization.

The Value of Vocational Education

This USA Today recognition highlights the growing appreciation for vocational education’s value proposition. Our graduates enter careers that offer:

Immediate earning potential: Trade school graduates can start earning competitive wages quickly after graduation. And at 91快活林, you will have tremendous opportunities to meet with employers even before graduation. Our annual Career Fair draws nearly 100 employers, all eager to meet with our students.

Job security: Skilled trades are essential services that can’t be outsourced or easily replaced with AI or other technologies. Many consider the trades the safest careers to go into during the next 20 years.

Career growth: Many trades offer clear advancement paths and entrepreneurship opportunities. If you鈥檙e interested in the potential to own your own business, the skilled trades offer a variety of opportunities.

Community impact: Skilled tradespeople literally build and maintain the infrastructure our communities depend on. We train men and women for these careers every day.
Looking Forward

As Congress has expanded Pell Grants to include career training programs as short as eight weeks (taking effect July 2026), the recognition of vocational education’s value continues to grow at the federal level. This makes quality training programs like those at NCST more accessible than ever.
The USA Today recognition validates our approach to trades education, but more importantly, it highlights the incredible opportunities available to students considering a career in the skilled trades. In a job market where many industries face skills shortages, our graduates are positioned for success.
