Career and technical education: A path to success for many
This time of year fills many students with anxiety about what to do after they graduate from high school. For too long, students have heard that a four-year college degree is the only way to succeed. This is a false narrative, and it can set students up for failure.
Career and technical education (CTE) provides learners of all ages with valuable skills to enter the workforce and should not be viewed as a “backup plan” but rather as a path to a high-paying, family-sustaining job. When a student graduates from a CTE program, they often have a diploma in one hand and often multiple job offers in the other. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT CTE HAS TO OFFER.

Positivity Project- HUMILITY
Humble people have an accurate (not underestimated) sense of their abilities and achievements. They hold the capacity to acknowledge their mistakes and limitations, and are open to advice and new ideas. They do not show off their possessions or accomplishments.
Developing humility is associated with positive developmental outcomes in individuals. It allows a person to honestly reflect on their abilities and acknowledge how and where they can improve. Humility opens them up to new ideas, advice, and (consequently) abilities that pride, arrogance, or pretentiousness often block. Therefore, humility makes them desired members of a team.
