For Students, the Berlin Technical College is a Place for Changing Times

By Jon Greenberg on Monday, June 12, 2006.

In the North Country, economic change is taken for granted. Few people would argue that the timber industry, once the source of so many jobs, can be counted on to provide steady work in the years ahead. The Community Technical College in Berlin is a key part of the mix in this economic transition. But more generally, it is part of some very personal changes in the lives of many North Country residents.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Jon Greenberg recently sat down with five students at the college – four graduates and one who will finish next year. He has this report on what their education means to them.
