On July 25, 2026, a family of career-training schools, including West Virginia Junior College (WVJC), East Ohio College (EOC), United Career Institute (UCI), and Boardman Training Center (BTC), held their annual graduation commencement ceremony.
The ceremony was held at the Mylan Park Event Center in Morgantown, West Virginia, where 167 graduates traveled from across West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other surrounding states to receive their degrees or diplomas. Graduates from the institution’s nursing, allied healthcare, and professional services programs celebrated their hard work and future success.
“It has been an incredible honor to be part of their journey– watching as they grow and learn with their classmates and showcase their resilience and dedication has been the gift of a lifetime. I am truly inspired by each of our graduates who have worked so hard to reach this day, whether they are entering the medical, dental, IT, cybersecurity,
pharmacy technician, or nursing fields. There is a bright future ahead of each of them because they bring sincerity, passion, and purpose to the world around them,” said Director of Career Management, Dustin Blankenship. “I am so proud of each of our graduates and thrilled to celebrate this monumental milestone together. Congratulations, Class of 2026!”
