AHLEI is also a nationally recognized certificate in the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the target population for Trading Up: Construction was aimed at recruiting high school students; however, recruitment efforts in Construction careers were not so enticing for this age group. A pilot project with middle school students from TMS was then implemented, resulting in 12 certified students out of the 17 who signed up. The NMTech-PSS team is currently working on coordinating the transition of these students into high school and\/or into other NMTech programs to ensure that their career pathway journey continues. <strong><em>(PR)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Marianas Technical Institute and the CNMI Public School system have certified 89 students&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":393990,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-393974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-pss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
