What our staff has to say:

“I wanted to come to the Greater Altoona Career and Technology Center because where else can you experience 25+ industries in one building? It’s a really great place to work.”

Julie Patosky, Continuing Education Coordinator

“I really love teaching, and I feel like the [GACTC] really has something special. We’re a close knit environment and it’s awesome to see our students progress through the program and become more competent and confident in their skills.”

Stephanie Weaver, Practical Nursing Instructor

“Teaching nursing gives me the best of both worlds. I get to take care of patients and stay involved in all the clinical aspects of nursing while shaping the next generation of nurses.”

Lisa Urban, Practical Nursing Program Coordinator & Instructor

“I love my coworkers, I love the school itself, but I think best part of my job is that I get to see these student on their journey. I get [to see them] … enroll, make their way on that journey and put that effort through, and then see them get into that employment doing what they always wanted to do.”

Kim Ciccarella, PS Recruitment, Retention, and Placement Specialist

Jamie Hershey, EFDA Coordinator/Instructor
