February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month! CTE provides opportunities for high school and college students to explore careers, gain real-world skills, and find a path to a career they are passionate about. Check out some CTE videos that highlight various programs throughout Michigan. Did you know? Students enrolled in CTE programs are more engaged, graduate from high school at higher rates, earn industry-recognized credentials, and have rewarding and family-sustaining careers. Help your student get a jump start on their postsecondary education. Head to MiSchoolData.org, the State of Michiganโ€™s official source for pre-K, K-12, postsecondary, and workforce data to learn more.

Congratulations, Northwest Education Services CTE! Congratulations, Northwest Education Services CTE!
