At Wilson Talent Center, a new generation of educators is already learning how to lead—and how to respond when it matters most.
Over the course of two days, first-year Educational Careers students participated in hands-on CPR training and earned their BLS (Basic Life Saving) certification. With support from expert instructors, students practiced chest compressions, rescue breaths, and emergency response techniques using manikins and real-world scenarios.
These future teachers are gaining more than classroom skills—they’re building the confidence to act quickly and compassionately in any setting. Learning how to save a life is just one of many ways students are preparing to support and serve their future school communities.
