Morning and afternoon CNA students learned how to apply a gait belt by following key safety, placement, and adjustment steps. They practiced on themselves and in pairs, securely positioning the belt around their waist and their partner's waist. This involved threading the buckle and ensuring the belt was snug enough for two to four fingers to fit comfortably underneath. Finally, they positioned the clasp in front, allowing for a firm, underhand grip during transfers.

Construction students are learning about bulkheads and wall and Symons forms, which are fundamental to understanding structural concrete placement. A bulkhead is a temporary or permanent partition built inside or at the end of a wall form. Concrete wall forms are temporary structural molds designed to hold wet concrete in place and support its immense lateral (sidewalk) pressure until it cures and gains strength. Symons Steel-Ply is the industry-standard modular concrete forming system. It consists of lightweight, factory-built frames featuring high-strength steel outer edges and a durable plywood face.
