    logo_yavapaicollegeClarkdale AZ (October 25, 2018) – Yavapai College is rolling out an opportunity for men and women to earn while learning a high-demand skill and help a key industry fill its employee ranks.

    YC is partnering with contractors in Yavapai County to offer paid internships for men and women interested in construction industry careers. Information about the internships and accompanying training classes will be provided at basic carpentry preview events next month in Prescott and the Verde Valley.

    In response to demand for construction workers countywide, YC worked with contractors and builders over the last year to address labor-shortage and skills-training issues. The partnership resulted in the college offering a basic carpentry class (CBT 100) for the first time in many years this fall. The class covered, among other things, construction safety, power-tool operation, blueprint reading and provided hands-on training in framing, door and window installation, flooring and more.

    Labor market statistics indicate the number of available carpentry jobs in Yavapai County is 15 percent higher than the national average. An estimated 570 carpentry jobs are projected to be available annually  in Yavapai County over the next three years.*

    A second basic carpentry class and a basic carpentry II class are enrolling for later this fall. The basic carpentry II class (CBT 110) will reinforce skills learned in CBT 100 with hands-on experience in cutting, fastening, footings, framing, assembly, door/window installation, flooring, and finishing. CBT 100 is a prerequisite for CBT 110.

    • 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5, at the YC Career and Technical Education Center, 220 Ruger Road, Prescott.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
