Congressman John Carney visited the Wilmington Job Corps Center on Thursday, March 15th. He was escorted to various vocational and educational classrooms, by student greeters and tour guides. He had the opportunity to observe our students in action. This was his first visit to the center as a Congressman.

At the end of his visit, the students presented him with parting gifts of cookies that were made by the Culinary Arts dept., the BCL pinned him with the center’s “BIONIC” pin and he was inducted into the “BIONIC” culture with a framed certificate stating this. Last but not least, he was also presented with a Panther Pride t-shirt since he is a runner. He enjoyed the visit and the students really appreciated the fact that he took the time to visit quite a few classrooms to observe their training and to speak and encourage the students.
