Franklin County Career and Technology Center Highlights Senior Morgan Lehman

The Franklin County Career and Technology Center is recognizing senior Morgan Lehman in its Senior Spotlight as a student in the Workforce Development Program.

According to CareerTech, Lehman has set a goal of working with children with special needs and has taken steps toward that career path through certifications, coursework, advocacy, and volunteer experience.

Lehman has earned OSHA-10, Employability Skills, Basic Life Support (BLS), and Pennsylvania Paraeducator certifications. She is also completing Registered Behavior Technician coursework to expand her knowledge in supporting students.

CareerTech said Lehman represented the school at Advocacy Days at the Pennsylvania State Capitol, where she joined students from other programs in speaking with legislators about Career and Technical Education, school funding, and workforce development.

For her Cooperative Education Experience, Lehman has been volunteering at the Franklin Learning Center while pursuing a student worker position through Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12.

CareerTech said Lehman’s work reflects her commitment to supporting students and pursuing a future working with children with special needs.
