Durham Tech’s Early Childhood Education program recently honored students participating in apprenticeships at a signing ceremony, where 16 apprenticeships were signed. Speakers included Durham Tech instructors as well as students of the program. The ceremony started with a quote about how the love of children is placed first in the program’s plan.
“There is certainly no greater love than what we show our children,” said Durham Tech Director of Work-based Education and Apprenticeship Dr. Micara Lewis-Sessoms, a former early childhood educator and “proud product of Head Start.”

Toni Rigsbee’s uncle was just 20 years old when he was murdered.
His killer was never found.
“Our family never got resolution, and the case went cold,” said Rigsbee, 42. “I always knew I wanted to become an investigator so I could help families of victims get closure and justice.”
Rigsbee’s pathway to criminal justice made a sharp right turn during high school when she found out she was pregnant and ultimately decided to drop out.
