Diesel Power Technology Senior Learning on the Job
Englewood, Ohio - Miami Valley Career Technology Center
(MVCTC) senior Diesel Power Technology student, Zane, is employed with
Balsbaugh Excavating in Englewood as an Apprenticeship Student.
Brehm explained his job as, “I am a mechanic at Balsbaugh Excavating in
Englewood. I will do anything from repairing, fixing, and taking
care of equipment.”
The MVCTC Pre-Apprenticeship Program is open to seniors, but
preparation starts during the junior year. The School-to-Apprenticeship
program helps students enter an occupation requiring a high level of
skill. Apprenticeships link high school, college opportunities,
business, industry, and government together to provide a seamless
career path for high school students. Well-planned and supervised
school based and work-based learning experiences are the foundation for
the program. The Apprenticeship program allows students to work and
earn a paycheck - while learning skills and earning the certifications
that employers want.
Brehm expanded on his apprenticeship experience to say, "What I like
about the apprenticeship program that MVCTC offers is that it allows
students like me to earn skills at a specific job and also earn some
money at the same time. I'm also glad that Mr. Seibel taught us all
about engines and big rig trucks because I have had to use those skills
at work. The Apprenticeship Program is an awesome program and I want to
encourage everyone to keep their attendance and grades up so that they
can apprenticeship too because it’s amazing to learn great skills that
you will need and also earn a nice incentive called ‘money’!”
Zane is the son of Kelly and Nancy Brehm of Arcanum.
What started almost 50 years ago as the Montgomery County Joint
Vocational School (JVS) has transformed into the Miami Valley Career
