Darren Ash, Executive Director of The ROC, returns to “At Home with Roby” to give an update on the school and its students.  Since teaching construction virtually just won’t work, The ROC safely reopened its doors to students in June for in-person learning.  According to Darren, the kids came back “on fire” and ready to get their hands dirty.  In January, the school is opening a second training lab focused on electrical and HVAC training in the Hidden Valley / Sugar Creek area that will pull students from Vance High School.  And in March, they’ll begin placing all current students in summer apprenticeships with local construction and trade businesses.  At a time when so many students are learning from behind a computer screen, it’s refreshing to hear that The ROC and its students are continuing to thrive.  To learn more, visit https://www.roccharlotte.org/.
