Scan Lab Work Training Site The Scan lab is located within the Transition Plus building, but is run similarly to a Community Based Vocational Training (CBVT) site. Training in the lab exposes students to computer employment skills. The lab has computer work stations where students use digital scanners to scan photos, slides, and other materials. Images scanned are then color corrected, cropped, and saved to files and burned to a CD/DVD/Flashdrive. Students learn scanning software, basic image correction techniques, terminology used in the industry, procedures for creating files and saving images. Other work tasks include laminating, and creating documents with Microsoft Office or Publisher. Students also work on learning employment skills such as punctuality, work endurance, accuracy, production speed, teamwork, and positive work attitude.
