Meet six Akron graduates taking very different paths after high school
Some teens have their futures figured out. Ayden Austin is one of them. The recent Ellet Community Learning Center graduate studied construction through the Goodyear Academy of Applied Engineering, where he learned basic carpentry, plumbing and electrical work. In mid-June, Austin took an aptitude test to join the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 306, the Akron-area electricians’ union, and will interview later this month for a chance to earn an apprenticeship.
