A-B Tech’s “No Limits” radio show was founded in 2013 in collaboration with WRES 100.7 FM radio, Asheville’s first African American public radio station, and the Empowerment Resource Center.

Upcoming shows will focus on A-B Tech’s competitive healthcare programs that are open for Fall 2023 admission through March 17, including an interview on March 1 with Candace Crump, Chair of A-B Tech’s Medical Assisting program.
