The new Holton Career and Resource Center is holding a public open house and ribbon-cutting tonight.

The center will offer industry training and certification for Durham students who can leave their base school to attend classes in the afternoon and evening. There will be classes on barbering, construction and landscape management offered.

The community will be able to participate in sporting events, classes and wellness programs. 

This is a result of two years of collaboration between the City of Durham, Durham Public Schools, Duke University, Durham County and Durham Parks and Recreation. 

A ribbon-cutting will be held at the center tonight at 5:30 p.m. The center is located at 401 North Driver St. A self-guided tour will follow, and refreshments will be served.
