NTCA students from Region 8 recently toured Pittsburg Steel, gaining firsthand insight into how innovation and advanced manufacturing are shaping industry right here in our region.

Students learned about large-scale steel production from Travis Nolen and Gary Lockaby, who provided valuable insight into the manufacturing process and the many career pathways available within the industry. They highlighted high-demand careers that are helping shape the future of East Texas.

Experiences like this allow students to connect classroom learning to real-world opportunities and envision their future.
