I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the Put Tools in Schools program, led by Ray Terry, and the profound impact it has had on the students at Center360. As an intern with the organization, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how this initiative is opening doors for young minds, broadening their perspectives on career opportunities, and inspiring them to explore fulfilling, hands-on professions in the trades industry.
The Put Tools in Schools program is invaluable in bringing awareness to our middle school students that college is not the only path to success. Through this initiative, students are introduced to the vast array of careers in the trades, including electrician work, tile installation, automotive repair, HVAC, and many more. What sets this program apart is not only the exposure to various trade fields but also the engaging and dynamic way in which Ray Terry presents them. Each session, he brings in a new expert from a different field, allowing students to hear firsthand experiences, ask questions, and truly envision themselves in these careers. Students eagerly anticipate his visits, knowing they will be introduced to someone new and gain practical knowledge that extends beyond the classroom.
Beyond career exploration, Ray Terry doesn't just educate students about trade jobs; he equips them with essential knowledge for adulthood, teaching them practical skills they will need when they own a car, rent an apartment, or purchase a home. From understanding basic auto maintenance to knowing what to look for when hiring a contractor, these lessons prepare students for real-world responsibilities that they may not otherwise have the chance to learn at a young age.
The impact of Put Tools in Schools cannot be overstated. This program not only introduces students to high-demand career paths but also empowers them with confidence and practical knowledge that will benefit them for years to come. Ray Terry’s dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to shaping the futures of these students make a lasting difference in their lives. On behalf of Center360, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for this program and all that it contributes to our students' growth and development.
Sincerely,
Taylor Brown
