The U.S. has a dire shortage of skilled tradespeople. A school in Huntsville, Ala., is attempting to replenish the talent pool—one teenager at a time.
The Huntsville Center for Technology (HCT) is a new $40 million facility where 700 students leave their traditional high school for part of the day to receive industry-standard training. The school, which will send off its first graduates this spring, features a specialized “Indtech” program developed through a direct partnership with Toyota Alabama, supported by an $11 million investment from Toyota’s charitable endowment.
