Future careers start here! 💙
Cooperative Education is new to Caribou Tech this year! Through Co-Op, students connect classroom learning with hands-on experience and career exploration at local worksites. Most students are putting credentials they have already earned through Caribou Tech to use at their placements. Alongside JMG, they build skills in communication, job attainment, professionalism, and self-management, and apply those skills on the job.
Thank you to the Caribou Community School nursing staff for welcoming a Caribou Tech Co-Op student and giving her an opportunity to explore healthcare. These experiences help students discover their interests, build confidence, and plan their next steps.
We appreciate our community partners for sharing their time and knowledge and helping our students get started!

Honoring Those Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice
The Caribou Tech Center Criminal Justice Program is honored to present our annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, and we invite our community to join us.
📍 Caribou Community School | Bennett Drive, Caribou, Maine
⏰ Climb Times (two options this year): 5:00 AM & 6:00 PM
🕯️ Opening Ceremony: 5:30 PM in the gymnasium
This event is not a fundraiser or a sporting event. It is a time for our community to come together for one purpose: to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives while responding to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
As we climb, we remember the 110 flights of stairs climbed by the first responders at the World Trade Center and reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who never made it home.
The event is free and open to the public. We hope you will join us as we remember, honor, and never forget. ❤️🤍💙
For more information, please contact Amanda Korhonen at akorhonen@rsu39.org.

Maine EMS Week Celebration
Last Thursday, several students who completed the EMT program at Caribou Tech Center traveled to Augusta for the Maine Fallen EMS Providers Memorial and EMS Week celebration. The event honored EMS providers who have made the ultimate sacrifice and celebrated those continuing to serve communities across Maine.
We were especially proud to see Luke Gordon invited to speak and share his personal journey into EMS and how Caribou Tech’s EMT program helped prepare him for his career. Luke spoke about the experiences, hands-on training, and skills he gained at CTC that gave him the confidence to take the next step as a certified EMT.
Having a former student return to represent CTC and share his story with EMS professionals and community leaders was an incredibly proud moment. Luke and his classmates are a great example of the impact Career & Technical Education can have on a student’s future.
We are proud of Luke and all of our former EMT students as they continue their journeys in EMS!
