TITLE: BECOMING THEIR FIRST CHOICE
Audience: CTE Educators

While we balance preparing students for both higher education and the workforce, it is time to shift our messaging. We need to (re)define the goal and (re)examine why the tipping point still has not yet occurred towards pathways, industry credentials, career readiness, and the pursuit of gainful employment.
It’s time to become their first choice.
