Lincoln Land Community College is looking to attract high school students to trade-related professions for which the school has programs.  They are doing so in part through a summer camp called “Build & Wire,” set to take place on their campus.  It’s scheduled for June 1-18, Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

High school juniors and seniors are eligible for the program.  Elizabeth Fines-Workman, LLCC’s Taylorville campus director, says the program will feature many projects encompassing a variety of trades.

Fines-Workman says the program will give students a head start in trade fields and help them decide what trade they want to pursue further. 

In recent happenings, local fourth-graders completed their visits to the Lincoln Land Community College campus.  As planned, they got an up-close look at several of the college’s programs.

The college’s commencement is set for May 15 at the Springfield campus for all students, including those studying at other LLCC campuses.  Fines-Workman says commencements were meaningful to her as a student, and her first such ceremony in her current role will be no different.
