Attendees will learn strategies for building industry connections, developing transferable skills, utilizing technology and resources, and fostering entrepreneurship.
From the first CTE class to the final class in a chosen career pathway, course content should encourage students to envision a future in high-pay, high-growth careers. Learn how to encourage career exploration, provide up-to-date career information, and help students prepare for the job search in their industry. Take home strategies and activities your CTE teachers can implement in the new year.
Focus on strategies for introducing the wide variety of careers available in every CTE course, from middle school to the end of a career pathway.
