Sustained growth in Canadian County has spurred Canadian Valley Technology Center administration to develop new educational opportunities for prospective high school students and adults.

Industrial Automation and Robotics Technology, or iART, is one of two new programs being added in fall 2021. Emergency Services is the other. Online enrollment is under way at cvtech.edu for the additions to the school’s El Reno campus.

When Jessica Reed of El Reno graduated from high school in 2018, she knew she wanted to work with children. When she started working at the Canadian Valley Child Development Center, she heard about the Scholars for Excellence in Child Care Program offered at Redlands Community College.

“It was a way to further my education while doing something I love,” said Reed, who has already earned her Certificate of Mastery in child care through the program.
