Vermont Tech is proud to announce that the
graduating class of 2017 achieved a 98%
placement rate, meaning they are either

remarkable statistic for the 2017 class is that
99% of employed graduates are working in
their field of study.
Vermont Tech’s yearly placement rate is
calculated by a six-month Outcome Survey
conducted by the Director of Career
Development, Karry Booska. Booska said,
“This data confirms that Vermont Tech’s programs,

employed, 193 continuing their education,
and 9 unemployed.
Vermont Tech’s President, Patricia Moulton
remarked that “We are very pleased with
these stellar outcomes. Vermont Tech has a
history of growing successful students into
hard-working graduates who enter the workforce
with the critical thinking and practical
skills needed to succeed in their fields. To the
graduates of the class of 2017: I am very
proud of you and I know you will continue to
change the world.”
Over the last four years, Vermont Tech has
an average placement rate of over 97%. The
class of 2014 saw 98%, in 2015 it was 94%
and the class of 2016 had a 100% placement
rate.
When Lucas was first elected to the
Council, the Main Street project was already
underway. Since then, he has been a part of
the revitalization that has seen development
at the Blanchard Block, creation of City
Place, and implementation of the Gunner’s
Brook Flood Mitigation Initiative. When
asked why he seeks election, Herring responded,
“It’s really what’s best for Barre. Barre is
on the right track and I want to make sure that
we continue to move forward. I’ve been a
public servant for the residents of Barre for
many years and will use that experience as
Mayor. Barre has a strong sense of community
and I am excited for the opportunity to be
able to bring my ideas and experience to benefit
of our City in this important role.”
Herring is currently serving in his fourth
term as a City Councilor in Ward 3.
