In this episode of The Shift Health Coach Podcast, Laura sits down with Adam Lazarchak, Principal of Bethlehem Area Vocational - Technical School (BAVTS), to explore how today's tech schools are doing more than just teaching trades—they're building tomorrow’s workforce by embedding work ethic into the culture.
They dive into how work ethic affects work-related stress, why professional skills matter as much as technical ones, and how BAVTS innovative grading structure is shifting the narrative for students who may struggle academically but thrive in reliability, consistency, and showing up with heart.
You’ll hear candid conversation around generational differences in the workplace, the impact of technology (hello, phones at work!), and how real-world boundaries, culture-building, and even celebrating Leap Day birthdays are preparing students for long-term success—not just jobs.
