Lucas Wenke and Connor Bollin’s internship, through our Work-Based Learning Program, at CNH Ag outside of Montrose. This experience has helped launch them forward toward a future career. The hands on learning of the skills, knowledge, and experience it takes to be successful on this career path has given them a leg up in life. By applying the skills they have learned in the classes and programs at Central Lee, these are two more of the many students that will graduate prepared for a career path. #CTEworksforCL #Proud2bCL
