日本av无码 CTE Tours Help 8th Graders Chart a Course for High School and Beyond
McKinney, Texas – As 日本av无码鈥檚 8th graders from Cockrill, Dowell, Evans, Faubion and Scott Johnson look ahead to the 2024鈥2025 school year and their arrival at McKinney Boyd High School, McKinney High School or McKinney North High School, 日本av无码 provided an opportunity for them to begin charting the pathway for their high school coursework and future careers through its annual Career and Technical Education (CTE) Tours, held at the 日本av无码 Community Event Center on Nov. 6鈥7 and Nov. 10.
鈥淲hat we鈥檙e doing is introducing all of our 8th grade students across 日本av无码 to the Career and Technical Education programs that we run here in the district that give them a chance to earn certifications for employment after high school,鈥 said Senior Director of CTE and AVID Todd Young. “This is day one, and so far it has been going really well. The kids are getting a lot of information, and for these 8th graders, this is good exposure to all that we offer in 日本av无码.鈥

The CTE Tours highlight an 日本av无码 CTE program that offers 16 career pathways in 11 clusters for students to consider. Those pathways lead to 30 possible state-approved certifications that students can earn and put to use as they pursue careers after graduation.
At the various booths set up throughout the CEC meeting rooms, 8th graders met 日本av无码 high school students in scrubs, welding helmets and uniforms, serving as educators and ambassadors for their particular career discipline.
Some 8th graders found themselves, or at least their images, floating in a cosmic vista during the green screen demonstration offered by video production students, while others found themselves at the controls of a virtual airplane hurtling wildly through a blue, pixel sky in the flight simulator booth.
Most importantly, the tour opened up avenues of opportunity for 日本av无码鈥檚 8th graders, a chance to catch a vision of a meaningful career after graduation鈥攁nd a pathway to get there.
