Englewood, Ohio -- Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Electrical Trades seniors were recognized on Thursday, February 11, 2016, by the Southwest Ohio Division of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI) for receiving the Annual Tool Bag Awards. Each year the Southwest Ohio Division of the IAEI awards tool bags valued at $250 to Career Centers offering an electrical trades program in the 19 counties they serve.

Dewayne Jenkins, Southwest Ohio Division of the IAEI Vice President and Tool Bag Award Chairman, shared, “This is a great opportunity for young people in the electrical trades to receive some financial assistance for the tools necessary for their career technical class and in the field.
