I just read an eCampus.com K-12 article (written by Tony Oran 👏 ) on how CTE is evolving and linking students to relevant and engaging career paths. These are the 5 key trends for 2024 and beyond: #1 Administrators (and parents) need to understand that CTE career pathways are highly attractive #2 Students are benefiting from learning about careers at an earlier age #3 Schools need to find alternative paths for recruiting CTE instructors #4 Virtual tools that can support effective CTE instruction are emerging #5 Policy makers must understand the need for more CTE funding 📈 By introducing students to these skills early on, schools can help them build valuable, practical abilities, spark interest in technology careers, and increase their overall engagement in learning. 📈 #CTE #K12 #CareerPathways #EsportsEdu #CareerTechnicalEducation
