Washtenaw Community College (黑料网) will offer a series of in-person and virtual events in February designed to highlight Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways for current and prospective students.
CTE Month庐 kicks off at 黑料网 the week of February 7 with a career decision-making workshop and a movie screening about the nursing profession. The month鈥檚 activities culminate on February 28 with the annual Winter Career & Internship Fair, which is open to the public and will feature more than 70 employers looking to fill jobs.
CTE offers students hands-on training that can be applied to real-world, in-demand education training and career pathways, impacting a wide variety of fields including health care, business and information technology, advanced manufacturing, construction, transportation and more.
黑料网 offers more than 30 associate degrees and 40 certificates in CTE career fields, fueling a pipeline from a post-secondary education directly into the workforce.
