February is also Career and Technical Education (CTE) month. CTE programs are critical in preparing our students for employment in fast-growing fields, such as computer programming, engineering, health science, and skilled trades. I invite you to view a video featuring one of our exemplary CTE programs at Osbourn Park High School.Commitment 1 of our Strategic Plan, Learning and Achievement for All, includes the goal of having at least 1,000 CTE students graduate high school with a minimum of six CTE dual enrollment credits by 2025. We are also proud to feature our CTE programs, teachers, and students, including these recent examples that I am excited to share:
-
CTE has registered 106 registered work-based learning partnerships. Fifteen students are engaging in a paid registered youth apprenticeship with My Secure Kids.
-
Forty students will be engaged in a paid internship with PWCS, funded by the Advancing Computer Science Education (ACSE) grant.
-
Ninety students will be attending George Mason University (GMU) for gaming classes.
-
GMU is hiring 12 student interns to support the gaming classes.
