A major step in expanding career and technical education in Hudson County took place this week as officials gathered to cut the ribbon on the newly named Hudson County Schools of Technology Craig Guy Center at Bayonne High School.
According to information sent in a press release by Hudson County, County Executive Craig Guy joined Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis, school leaders, and community members to celebrate the launch of the facility, which will welcome approximately 400 students.
The center will provide students with hands-on, career-focused programs in fields such as mechanical trades, construction, finance, medical and clinical studies, criminal justice, digital communications, electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, and cosmetology.
Officials emphasized that the center represents not just a building, but a pathway to opportunity.
With the demand for skilled workers rising across New Jersey, the programs aim to prepare local students for high-demand fields while keeping Hudson County competitive.
“This is an investment in our young people and in the future workforce of Hudson County,” one official noted during the ceremony.
The Craig Guy Center adds to a growing network of county-supported educational initiatives that pair classroom learning with real-world career preparation, ensuring students have the tools to thrive after graduation.
