Recognizing Medina County Career Center

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, you do not need a traditional 4-year degree to become a millionaire. In Ohio's Seventh District, we have some of the best career centers in the Nation, placing students in high-paying jobs right out of high school.

Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Medina County Career Center in Medina, Ohio, right in our district. The center opened in 1974 as the Medina County Joint Vocational School before changing its name to what it is today. The career center is a partnership with six public school districts in northeast Ohio and offers advanced career and technical education for approximately 1,200 high school students and nearly 3,000 adult students.

Additionally, the center offers secondary career development resources and student internship opportunities, preparing students to enter or to reenter the workforce.

I commend the Medina County Career Center and express my gratitude for the center's role in producing future leaders from Ohio's Seventh Congressional District.
