The 100 Porterville College mid-year graduates had plenty to celebrate recently as they graduated from the college’s Fire Academy, Psychiatric Technician, Psychiatric Technician, Vocational Nursing, Registered Nursing and the Entrepreneur programs.
The firefighters were required to finish 360 hours of training in a variety of topics, among them firefighter safety, wildland fire behavior, building search and rescue, fire investigation, vehicle collision rescue, Jaws of Life and many others.
Special recognition and awards were given to Juan Ambriz, academic excellence award; Jacob Reveles, leadership award; First Lt. David Goforth, U.S. Army Reserve and Sgt. Adam Basconcillo, U.S. Marine Reserve, for “Commitment to Duty”; and Hillary Paul — the only female graduate — who won the “Can Do Award.”
In addition, certificates of appreciation were awarded to Ryan Wood, academy cadet battalion chief; and cadet company captains Chad Billingsley, Adam Basconcillo, Joshua Martin, Jarod Steele, Adolf Garcia and Paul Martinez.
The psychiatric technician and vocational nursing graduations took place at the Burton Middle School gymnasium with Karen Boriak, director of nursing, announcing several awards including the academic achievement award to Damion Rhodes and Sheila Urbanek; and outstanding clinical performance award to Kris Munoz for the psychiatric technician classes.
Vocational Nurse award recipients were Vanessa Galo, academic achievement, and Alejandrea Cerna and Laura Padilla for outstanding clinical performance.
The new Entrepreneur Training Program graduated its first class of students after they spent eight weeks studying business topics such as marketing and operations, and putting together a business plan.
The class was guided by instructors and staff from the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, California State University Fresno.
The class consisted of local people, including business owners and other who are in the planning stages of opening their first business.source
