The Attleboro Technical Institute held a graduation ceremony for its first graduating class on Dec. 5.

ATTLEBORO — Superintendent David Sawyer and Associate Principal for Career and Technical Education Jeremy Guay are pleased to announce that the Attleboro Technical Institute held a graduation ceremony for its first cohort of students on Dec. 5.

On Sept. 9, 48 students began training at the Attleboro Technical Institute in concentrations of Automotive Service, HVAC, Plumbing, and Welding. This program is focused on preparing entry-level employees for the workforce by teaching them technical skills in safety, communication, employability, and technology.

The Attleboro Technical Institute is funded by a $809,930 grant through the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Career Technical Initiative (CTI). It has been able to provide this training program along with assistance from the Commonwealth Corporation, MassHire Bristol Career Center, and local employers, ensuring seamless entry into the workforce for many employees in the greater Attleboro area. This grant will run until June 2026.

“The Attleboro Technical Institute has been a great success,” said Superintendent Sawyer. “I am extremely grateful that the Career Technical Initiative grant has been able to support this program, and I am indebted to the organizations that have helped it come to fruition.” Each of these graduates has earned the OSHA Safety Certification and Hot Works Safety Certification, with HVAC students also earning an EPA 608 Refrigeration License. They also receive $3,000 worth of tools to prepare them for success in the workforce.

“This is a long-awaited and highly demanded program that has been a pleasure to bring to the community,” said Associate Principal Guay. “It is a very valuable resource for the community, and I am thrilled to see it grow and evolve.”

The Attleboro Technical Institute is accepting applications for the spring semester. It is open to Massachusetts residents who are at least 18 years old. The program is free and requires a commitment of four evenings per week, totaling 20 hours of training per week for 13 weeks.
