“The training at COA has helped me learn the importance of safety in machining, along with many techniques that can help improve work efficiency and time management.” – Ethan Jensen

This week, COA is excited to spotlight Ethan Jensen. Ethan is currently a senior at Currituck County High School. He is taking advantage of the career and technical education opportunities provided through the Career and College Promise (CCP) dual enrollment program. While only a senior in high school, Ethan is on track to graduate from COA this fall with his diploma in Computer Integrated Machining (CIM).

What is more impressive is that Ethan is already employed in his field of study at Hoffer Flow Controls in Elizabeth City, NC. Ethan has worked there since June of 2023.
