The first ever Literary Arts magazine was created last year by Billy Clegg and Deanna Awad as part of their CAS project, so please be sure to congratulate them! The staff will look forward to carrying on their legacy after they graduate this year!

Brianna Belvin Will Graduate From Pennco Tech as a Licensed Medical Assistant in Four Months
Brianna talked with representatives from Pennco Tech during School Lane’s annual College and Career Day and the next day they called her for an interview. Brianna was accepted into the Medical Assistance program the same day as her interview. When Brianna heard about the program and how much money she could make once graduated, she said, “It made a fire burn in me.” In just four months, Brianna will be able to enter the healthcare industry. Employment for Medical Assistants is projected to grow 29% over the next ten years. The high quality of the training allows graduates to use it as a jumping off place for many additional opportunities. Some of the daily duties of a medical assistant include, interacting with patients, using medical devices, performing vital signs and EKGs, scheduling appointments and assisting providers.” Brianna’s pediatrician has already offered her a job once she completes the program.
