These Wiregrass graduates have the tools needed now to go to work thanks to Whitehead Industrial Hardware of Valdosta.  As a recipient of the Tradesman Award the students received a plaque along with a $250 credit to purchase tools for their new jobs.  “It’s a great honor to have the opportunity to present each of these deserving individuals with the Whitehead Distinguished Tradesman Award,” shared Jonathan Miller, Whitehead Industrial Hardware Principal. “All of us here at Whitehead salute the modern tradesman and believe in the importance of recognizing the hard work and success of these students. Skilled labor is a critical component in the attraction of new industry to our region. As a community, we must advocate and support the careers of these commendable graduates.” 

 

The Wiregrass graduates recognized were: Corintheus Henderson (Air Conditioning Technology – Valdosta Campus) was nominated by instructor Scott Watson, Tyrek Robinson (Electrical Systems Technology- Valdosta Campus) was nominated by instructor Drew Vickers, Charlie Reese (Welding and Joining Technology – Ben Hill-Irwin Campus) was nominated by instructor Terry Johnson, Kevin Deen (Industrial Systems Technology – Coffee Campus) was nominated by instructor Phillip Taylor, Asa Newsome (Precision Machining – Valdosta Campus) was nominated by instructor Darron Lanier, and Jamal Clements (Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing – Valdosta Campus) was nominated by instructor Roy Bramley.

 

The award recipients have access to trained employees at Whitehead who are very familiar with their industry and the tools needed for the company they are employed with.
