Valdosta, GA – Thanks to a partnership between Ace Electric, DeWalt, and Whitehead Industrial Hardware gifted Wiregrass Georgia Technical College with ten tool kits. The kits include hand tools and power tools. The tools, needed for the Commercial Electrical Construction Technology program, will be loaned to students who cannot purchase their own kits. Prior to the COVID-19 national pandemic, students shared hand tools and power tools. For safety and sanitation, individual tool kits are now required for students. The kits will be loaned to students to use for an entire semester, and then returned to be sanitized and reissued to students the following semester.

For more information about the Commercial Electrical Construction Technology program and others, please visit, www.wiregrass.edu. Wiregrass Tech is hosting a Free Application Week July 27-31. When applicants apply in person or online, their application fee will be waived. Fall Semester classes begin August 18.
