CTE Month at PSC: Free Headshots, Resume and Interview Workshops, Job Fair, Open Houses and more!

Just because you’re a nursing student with mad skills doesn’t mean you have all the skills needed to enter the workforce.  Do you know how to develop a resume? And that beach selfie isn’t going to work as a professional headshot.

That’s why Pensacola State College is hosting numerous events in February to develop soft job skills for Career and Technical Education Training students who are learning those hard skills at the College.

February is national Career and Technical Education Month. CTE students are those working toward an Associate in Science degree, a vocational certificate or college credit certificate. This spring, 23 percent of PSC students are CTE students.

Dr. Marie M. Diamond EMT and Paramedic Classroom dedicated at Warrington campus

Joe Diamond is very familiar with the Pensacola State College classroom that is now named for his mother – Dr. Marie M. Diamond.

He used to teach in the room. In fact, Diamond ─ the program director for Pensacola State College from 1980 to 2009 ─ taught his mother in Room 3702, now known as the Dr. Marie M. Diamond EMT and Paramedic Classroom, located in Building 3700 on the Warrington campus.

“She would talk a lot,’’ Joe Diamond said of the experience of teaching his own mother. “Please be quiet, Mrs. Diamond. Please be quiet, Mrs. Diamond. Mother, be quiet!”

He laughed.
