Think about all the people you know who graduated from high school in the past few years. Very likely here’s what you’ll see:
- ome young grads may have earned a college degree and are now in satisfying careers.
- Others may have changed college majors two or three times. Likely they’re still in school trying to discover a good career “fit.”
- Others may have dropped out after a semester or two, disenchanted because they have no clear vision of the future.
- Still others may take other approaches leading to satisfying careers.
As you’ve watched the lives of other students unfold, likely you already know there are many different ways to prepare for a wide variety of satisfying careers. Today you can begin early in school.
A great place to start planning a career
All schools within the Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District offer a variety of experiences that help students explore careers and prepare for future education and the world of work.
Career & Technical Education is an essential component of the total educational system and is critical to our workforce development. This education for the work place has been called many things over the years – vocational education, technical education, career education, occupational education and workforce training. We call it Career and Technical Education or CTE.
Career and Technical Education is provided in a variety of settings and levels including awareness of different jobs at the elementary level, middle school career exploration, secondary CTE programs, post secondary certificates and degrees, and whole community – students and families, teachers and schools, and businesses. It includes academics, work experience, occupational training, career counseling and joint activities between business and education.
