The Swain Life Skills class got to end the school year with an hour long hike, a picnic and fun water activities at Deep Creek in Bryson City. Everyone had a blast and some even made friends with local wildlife (butterflies). We enjoyed being in nature with the beautiful views and great company.

We thoroughly enjoy working and celebrating with these students.

The Swain High School Occupational Course of Study (OCS) and Life Skills class recently visited the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad depot in Bryson City. They met with the Trainmaster, Retail, Ticket Sales, and toured the museum. Students learned about jobs with GSMR, what experience they needed for each job, and had a ton of fun doing so.

Thank you to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad for allowing us to explore and and help these students see what career options are in their community.

WestBridge Vocational recently had the opportunity to connect with Ryan and Jaimi, Innkeepers at the McKinley Edwards Inn in Bryson City.

If you have never visited the Inn, it is truly a special place. From the beautiful views of the Great Smoky Mountains to the history and charm of the property itself, it is easy to see why so many people love it. But what stands out most is the care and hospitality Ryan and Jaimi bring to everything they do.

We are excited about the opportunity to continue building this relationship and finding ways to work together in support of our community. Thank you, Ryan and Jaimi, for taking the time to meet with us and for your support of WestBridge Vocational and our mission.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Ricky Sanford at the Swain County Chamber of Commerce in Bryson City. We had a wonderful conversation and brainstormed some exciting ways to grow WestBridge Vocational's presence and awareness throughout Bryson City and Swain County.

A huge thank you to Ricky Sanford and the Swain County Chamber of Commerce for the warm welcome and the time invested in exploring how we can better serve this community together!

At WestBridge Vocational, we are dedicated to empowering all people with barriers to employment by providing training opportunities that inspire them to learn, earn, and thrive in a world that may not understand their needs.
Whether you know someone facing challenges finding meaningful work, or you're an employer looking to make a difference, we'd love to connect. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive workforce right here in Western North Carolina.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow our community partnerships!

We are excited for our former employee, Logan, on receiving his own vehicle through Rolling Start. Although Logan has moved on from WestBridge Vocational to pursue other goals, we are still very proud of him and all he continues to accomplish.

Having reliable transportation can make a huge difference, especially here in our rural communities. We are thankful for organizations like Rolling Start that work to help individuals and families in Jackson County gain access to dependable transportation when they need it most.

Congratulations again, Logan. We are proud of you and wish you continued success moving forward.

Big Thanks to WNC PawsAbilities LLC!

Our Cherokee students had a blast this week with some very special visitors! A big thank you to WNC PawsAbilities LLC for bringing their therapy dogs to campus.

Everyone was so excited to see the dogs show off their awesome tricks and specialized skills. It was great to see the students interact and have fun with the pups.
