Homebuyer Education Seminar

Participants in the seminar will receive valuable information on first-time homebuyer credits, credit scores, budgeting, and mortgage options. Participants who complete the seminar will receive a certificate that would qualify them for an $8,000 homebuyer credit and inclusion in the new Wesley Home program in Transylvania County. Three Saturday classes will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on January 30, February 6, and March 13, 2010 in the Rogow Room of the Transylvania County Public Library. Lunch will be provided to all participants.
February is CTE Month
The month of February has been designated as National Career/Technical Education Month. CTE Month will kick off with National Job Shadow Day on February 2. On this day, students across America will “shadow” workplace mentors as they go through a normal day on the job. The program invites students to see firsthand how the skills learned in school relate to the workplace.
