Not everyone knows what they want to do once they graduate high school, but with February being National Career Technical Education Month, the city of Vacaville hosted a multi-stop field trip Friday to hopefully spark some ideas.
Because it is Vacaville, home of a quickly growing biotechnology industry, one of the stops was Solano Community College’s Vacaville campus, where many biotechnology careers start.
Professors Jim DeKloe and Michael Silva took 58 Will C. Wood and Vacaville High School students on a tour of the $34 million Biomanufacturing Education Center and discussed the importance that biotechnology plays in people’s lives, namely how it can save them.
