G-CTEC Construction students receive a donation of tools
Greenville, Ohio— 8/26/2021 — This week Greenville Career Tech Education Center’s newest program received a generous donation. Bruns Construction donated 20 tool bags, fully stocked with construction tools for students. These tool bags included hammers, safety glasses, speed square, hard hat, screwdrivers and more to be used in the construction lab as students apply new technical skills through authentic and hands on experiences.
In addition to the tool bag donation, Bruns generously donated over $3,000 for the addition of new larger tools for the lab. “This money can go toward additional shop tools for students to learn on, such as cordless drills,” Adam Eberwein, Construction Technology Instructor shared at the donation. G-CTEC Director, Andrea Townsend said, “Community partnerships like this one make it possible for us to continue to offer high quality Career Technical Education that benefits students and our community.” “We are so proud to partner with this new program and see students succeed in our community and the industry,” said Nick Koesters of Bruns Construction.
The 2021-2022 school year will be the first year for the Construction Technology Program at G-CTEC. Students have the opportunity to participate in the program as Juniors and Seniors at Greenville High School. The Construction Program will be taught by Mr. Adam Eberwein and will concentrate on multiple foundations and fundamentals of entry-level processes of construction technology. In the first year, students are introduced to materials, methods and equipment used in carpentry and masonry. Students will also learn blueprint reading as it relates to the architecture and construction. Students will also develop an estimate of material, time, personnel, and equipment needs, availability and cost. The second year of this program will focus on students exploring many basic skills involved in construction of a building. Students will learn physical principles and fundamental skills across mechanical systems in construction, basic electrical circuits, copper and plastic plumbing fixtures, and the operation and maintenance of heating and cooling.
Greenville CTEC and Greenville High School are proud to offer this opportunity to students who are interested in building their technical skills in the field of construction. Students who are interested in participating the Construction Program at Greenville High School should speak with their guidance counselor or reach out to Andrea Townsend at atownsend@gcswave.com to learn more about the application process.
