Capital Area Technical Center has named two students as its April professionals of the month.

Bennett Ross, a senior at Winthrop High School, and Liam Tyce, a senior at Cony High School, have demonstrated exceptional dedication, skill, and passion in their respective programs at CATC, according to a news release from Stephanie Turgeon, Student Services coordinator at CATC.

Ross, hailing from Winthrop, has excelled in the Emergency Medical Technician program. His notable achievement includes securing the second position in the State of Maine SkillsUSA EMT competition, a testament to his proficiency and capability in emergency medical scenarios.

Ross balances his studies with participation in high school AP classes with lacrosse and hockey. With aspirations to pursue a career in the medical field as a physician, Ross is preparing for his EMT licensing test and plans to further his education at Sacred Heart University.

Tyce, a resident of Augusta, has distinguished himself in the Machine Tool program at CATC. His journey at CATC began with two years in the Auto Tech program, where he honed his skills and acquired hands-on experience.

Tyce is preparing for his State of Maine 1G Welding test. Employed by Darling’s Chrysler for the past two years, he attributes his growth as an automotive service technician to the on-the-job training program provided by his employer.

Upon graduation, Tyce looks forward to transitioning to a full-time role at Darling’s Chrysler.
