Students from Dalton Academy started their first class for dual enrollment at Georgia Northwest Technical College (GNTC) on January 8, 2024. The classes will run Monday to Thursday, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. introducing them to the basic floor covering installation program. This program consists of 300 contact hours of training for carpet, hardwood, resilient and tile installation. On Fridays, they will engage in the school's full-time virtual program to fulfill the remaining coursework required for graduation.
In early December, a pivotal parent/student open house took place in the flooring lab at GNTC. The purpose was to acquaint the students with the flooring program as a viable option for their ongoing education and career development. During the open house, both the students and parents posed insightful questions, gaining valuable insights into the myriad of opportunities within the flooring industry. The meeting concluded successfully, with all attending students eagerly enrolling in the program, which officially commenced today.
