I have highlighted our CTE (Career and Technical Education) program
in several of my recent blogs—ribbon cuttings for the Land Lab and Career
Building, and Building Trades renovating a home for a senior citizens. Agriculture and Building Trades, along with
Nursing, Culinary Arts, Welding and Cosmetology are our double-blocked CTE
classes and are open to students from both high schools. In addition to the blogs, we have tried to
share information about the programs with the community through special events
at Windsor and Smithfield high schools.
There are two new events that have just been added to the schedule—a Community
Open House on May 8 at the Land Lab and May 15 at the Career Building. Both
will be from 5:00—6:30pm. Mark your
calendars now and stay tuned for more information.
I still wanted a way to share information on these CTE
programs that would reach even more students, parents, and the community. I am excited, and proud, to reveal our CTE
Profiles, a series of 1 minute videos that highlight each of these
programs. David Elliott, our Coordinator
of Educational Technologies and Communications, has done incredible work on
these videos. These are not boring
infomercials. They are high energy and
are guaranteed to keep your attention.
The links to the videos are below.
Just watch one and you will be hooked.
All of them are posted on the IWCS YouTube channel. Please watch, like, and share them to help
spread the word about these amazing opportunities we are providing our
students.
