Metro Tech's Holiday Celebration & Employee Recognition
We had the best night celebrating each other and our hard work throughout the year.
We gave kudos and recognition to nominated employees who have worked especially hard everyday to support our mission, and we also honored our recent and prospective retirees.
The Superhero Award
This award recognizes an individual who was able to swoop in and save the day on a project or help a teammate.

Blue Star Award
This award is presented to the Metro Tech Employee who demonstrates and supports the positive work culture at Metro Tech. This individual represents the best of us (our spoken and unspoken core values) and may be considered an ambassador of happiness and positivity.
Title IX Coordinator, Gerald Scott
Quality Career Training Award
This quarterly award is given to a quality career training project or program nominated by a peer, self-nomination or a supervisor. These projects can be short term, full time, EWD, or in our Wellness or Support Services areas. Winners can range from a teacher doing something innovative, a cross functional project that supports quality career training or an industry partnership that is driving change.
Adult Safety Trainer, Cody McPherson
Retiree Recognition
This award recognizes our retirees. Congratulations to all of you on your retirement. We wish you the best in your next chapter of life.

Golden BLUEper Award
This award is presented to the employee who has recovered from a mistake they made intentionally or unintentionally. The nomination includes both true or exaggerated information, and this traveling award is humorous in nature and provides laughter and camaraderie among our people. We encourage our co-workers to self-nominate their biggest work-related blunder: what they learned from it and how they got things back on track.
