Goodbye Ms. Kate



CRTC Program Coordinator Kate Amrol left the CRTC in April to become the new Workforce Development Coordinator for the NH Auto Dealers Association Education Foundation. Ms. Kate, as she was affectionately called by students, had been with the CRTC for five years, where she took on multiple roles before being promoted to Program Coordinator just as the COVID crisis began last spring.


“Kate served us brilliantly for five years as she grew from an administrative assistant to program coordinator.” said CRTC Director Steven Rothenberg. “She was a true Swiss-Army knife, being involved in everything from recruitment to special events to student and school relations.  We will miss her.”

 

Her work developing work-based learning experiences for CRTC students and making connections with industry and postsecondary partners dovetails nicely with her new duties at the NHADA, Ms. Amrol said. 


“I can pick up where the CRTC left off and help students get to the next level after high school,” she said.

 

Ms. Amrol said that while she will miss her work at the CRTC, her new position enables her to continue working with CTE teachers and high school students across the state to provide them with the tools, education and opportunities they need build a career in New Hampshire’s automotive industry.


"I am so grateful for my time at the CRTC. I was able to learn a lot and make connections that will serve me as I move on,” Ms. Amrol said.  “Although I will miss the daily contact with students and staff, I am excited to partner with the CRTC in my new position as Workforce Development Coordinator for the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association."

  Meeting the COVID Challenge: CRTC Automotive Technology COVID-19 has changed our lives in ways unimaginable just 11 months ago. And as we navigate this new reality, the students, teachers and staff at the Concord Regional Technical Center have been stepping up and sorting out the changes and challenges of providing a hands-on, career-focused education in the midst of a hands-off educational environment. Automotive Technology teachers Scott Mayotte and Jesse Gregoire have had a mix of online and in-person students in their classrooms and shops much of this school year, and have been aggressively using technology to bridge the two. “Technology and flexibility are the keys,” said Mr. Mayotte, who has been teaching the Automotive Technology program for the past seven years. “Dealing with multiple sending schools, we can have part or all of our class logging in remotely at any time, so we have to be prepared to transition quickly from live to remote, or to do both simultaneously.” When th

  April is Admissions Month at CRTC Over the past several weeks CRTC staff has had to make some pretty tough decisions as they’ve sifted through applications to determine the make up September’s Year I classes, and have carefully reviewed each first year student’s SPUR assessments to decide who would be invited back to complete their second year. Year I students and new applicants already should have received notification letters or emails that inform them of their status and provide instructions for next steps. Any student who has not yet received notification should talk to their CRTC teacher or call the CRTC office. Each year we have more qualified students than we have open seats in our programs, so it’s necessary to make some difficult decisions. Some students who are not outright accepted or invited back have been placed on a waitlist for any available openings before the next school year, or have been asked to sign a conditional contract, which outlines a number of steps student

  Meet Our Teachers:  Gail Beaudoin, Criminal Justice CRTC programs are a blend of rigorous academics and applied learning that provide students with the opportunity to explore their interests, talents and career ambitions. The lynchpin in these programs is the unique character of the CRTC teacher, who typically has years of industry experience before making the transition to the classroom.  The CRTC Criminal Justice teacher, Gail Beaudoin, has over three decades of law enforcement experience, including 11 years as a Criminal Bureau detective, and was the first female in the Chelmsford, MA, Police Department to attain the rank of Lieutenant. She holds a master’s degree in Criminal Justice from UMass, and spent 15 years as an adjunct professor in Criminal Justice at UMass, Lowell.
