Short-term assignments with off-site Work Based Learning provide valuable training.
The entire Network and Cabling Trade, under the direction of Charles Singleton, from the Charleston Job Corps Center, have been tasked with an ongoing project at Life Center Church which is located on Virginia Street, in Charleston.
Students have provided TV installations with HDMI, installed cap 5 and cap 3 for telephone use, ran audio connections for instruments and sound table, installed video lines for video broadcast, office hook-ups, and cable television and set up classroom connections during this assignment.
