Charlton, MA &ndash; Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School proudly celebrated the graduation of 59 students from its Career Technical Initiative (CTI) program last evening, marking a significant milestone in the program&rsquo;s continued growth and impact.
The CTI program, launched in 2024, provides adult learners with access to high-quality, hands-on technical training designed to meet regional workforce demands. Last night&rsquo;s graduates represent a diverse group of individuals who demonstrated dedication, perseverance, and a strong commitment to building new career pathways. Many balanced work, family, and personal responsibilities while completing rigorous 200-hour training programs that prepare them for immediate employment in high-demand industries.
&ldquo;This graduating class represents the heart of what the CTI program is all about&mdash;opportunity, access, and workforce readiness,&rdquo; said Marci Komssi, Program Coordinator. &ldquo;We are incredibly proud of these 59 graduates and the determination they demonstrated throughout the program.&rdquo;
The success of the CTI program is made possible through continued state investment and workforce development partnerships. As part of the Commonwealth&rsquo;s commitment to economic recovery and growth, $24.2 million was awarded to 23 organizations throughout Massachusetts to train 2,490 individuals. These strategic investments, led by the Massachusetts Workforce Skills Cabinet, are designed to expand access to career pathway programs and better position residents to fill critical workforce needs across the state.
Building on this momentum, Bay Path is expanding its program offerings to reach even more adult learners. For the first time, the school will offer a 200-hour Building Maintenance program in a 5-week hybrid summer format, running from June 29 through July 31. This program is offered in partnership with MassHire, with applications opening this week.
Looking ahead to Fall 2026, Bay Path will offer nine CTI programs, further increasing access to career training opportunities. These programs include:
<ul><li>Building Maintenance</li><li>HVAC</li><li>Culinary</li><li>Manufacturing</li><li>Auto Collision</li><li>Auto Technology</li><li>Diesel Mechanic</li><li>Welding</li><li>Electrical</li></ul>
Since its inception, the CTI program has continued to expand in both enrollment and program diversity, attracting students from local communities as well as across the region. The program remains a critical component of Bay Path&rsquo;s efforts to support workforce development and provide meaningful career pathways for adult learners.

Take a Breath with Dawn - 9D Breathwork

Experience 9D Breathwork A Deeply Immersive Journey for Mind, Body &amp; Soul 9D Breathwork is not just a breathing exercise — it is a powerful, multi-sensory transformational experience designed to help you release stress, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful emotional breakthroughs. Using a unique combination of guided breathwork, immersive surround-sound audio, frequency healing, hypnosis-style coaching, subliminal messaging, meditation, visualization, and carefully layered soundscapes, 9D Breathwork creates an experience that feels deeply personal, emotional, and transformative. Participants wear headphones and are guided through a carefully crafted journey that engages the mind, body, emotions, and nervous system simultaneously. The result is an experience that can feel calming, energizing, emotional, enlightening, empowering, or even life-changing — depending on the journey selected and what your body and mind are ready to release. What Makes 9D Breathwork Different? Traditional breathwork focuses primarily on breathing patterns. 9D Breathwork elevates the experience by combining: Conscious connected breathing techniques Cinematic 9-dimensional audio experiences Guided meditation and visualization Emotional release practices Somatic nervous system regulation Brainwave entrainment and frequency layering Positive subconscious reprogramming Trauma-informed facilitation The immersive audio experience creates the sensation of movement, depth, and emotional connection, allowing participants to fully surrender into the journey and quiet the constant noise of everyday life. Benefits Participants Often Experience Many people report: Reduced stress and anxiety Deep relaxation and nervous system reset Emotional release and healing Improved clarity and focus Increased self-awareness Greater sense of peace and connection Better sleep Increased energy and creativity Release of limiting beliefs and emotional blocks Feelings of empowerment and gratitude
