In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Riveroak Technical College is proud to recognize Hayley Freeman, a childhood cancer survivor and RTC graduate. Hayley came to Riveroak as a dual enrollment student in the Nails and Facials Specialty program, earned her license as a Full Specialist, and now provides manicures, pedicures, and facial services at The Nail Spot in Live Oak. Diagnosed with infant leukemia at just three months old, Hayley faced years of treatment and a relapse during a time when the outlook for her childhood cancer was far from optimistic. Thanks to her incredible perseverance, advances in cancer research, and the opportunity to participate in trial treatment protocols, Hayley is not only a survivor—she is thriving and building a successful career in her community. She has been cancer free for 19 years.Her story is a powerful reminder of why continued childhood cancer research matters. You can schedule appointments with Hayley at The Nail Spot, 418 Howard Street in Live Oak call or text 386- 249-9964.

We want to thank our guest speaker Quinn Skierski from ProActive Investments, Inc. for coming to speak with our Electricity program students

Students in the Advanced Manufacturing program are gaining valuable hands-on experience that goes beyond the classroom. Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical training, students are working with industry-standard electrical, pneumatic, and industrial control equipment to develop the skills needed for today’s manufacturing workforce.

Yesterday, RIVEROAK hosted a Manufacturing and Production Roundtable Discussion with State Senator Corey Simon and other state and local elected officials.

The roundtable brought together elected officials, manufacturing and production leaders, education leaders, and workforce partners to discuss industry needs and challenges, while exploring opportunities to strengthen workforce development throughout our region.

Following the discussion, RIVEROAK welcomed the Suwannee County Chamber of Commerce for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating our new Nursing Facility!

This new facility represents another important investment in the future of healthcare education and workforce development in our community.

Thank you to all of the industry partners, elected officials, educators, community leaders, and guests who joined us on such a momentous day at RIVEROAK.

And a special shoutout to our Professional Culinary Arts and Hospitality program for preparing a delicious spread and refreshments for everyone in attendance!

Students in RIVEROAK’s Practical Nursing program recently completed Basic Life Support (BLS) training!

Hands-on training like this helps prepare our future healthcare professionals to respond confidently in emergency situations and provide critical care when it matters most.

Another important skill added to their growing healthcare toolkit!
