The Graphic Design program has kicked off two exciting initiatives this year: a monthly tradition called Work It Wednesday and a refreshed curriculum titled Yes I’m A Designer.
On the first Wednesday of each month, students arrive to class dressed in professional attire, swapping their everyday outfits for business-ready looks. The goal is to help students practice professionalism while building confidence for their future careers.
Alongside the new tradition, the Yes I’m A Designer curriculum is reshaping the way students learn graphic design. The updated program places a stronger focus on real-world projects, portfolio development, and industry skills, ensuring students leave the classroom ready to take on professional opportunities.
The combination of Work It Wednesday and the new curriculum highlights the program’s commitment to preparing students not only as creative thinkers, but as polished professionals.
A Quickbooks Workshop will be held at Southwest Tech on Septemer 23, 24, and 25 (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) from 6:00-9:00 PM. This will be a hands-on class for users to discover more tools and to increase their knowledge for their daily operations. The class is for all levels of QB users. Becca Bush is the instructor. The tuition is $50. Enroll online at www.swtech.edu/page/enroll-now or in person at Southwest Tech, 711 West Tamarack. Future classes will be offered as students progress. Give us a call at 580-477-2250.
✨ Cosmetology Class in Action! ✨
Our high school cosmetology students are getting hands-on with their learning in the most creative way! Today, we explored Skin Structure & Growth through a fun food building project. 🍰
Each layer represents the different parts of the skin—epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis—giving students a visual and interactive way to understand how our skin works. 🧑🔬💡
Not only are they gaining valuable knowledge, but they're also having a blast while doing it! 🌟
