We recently hosted students from the Youth Leadership Polk Program for an interactive energy education event at the Sewell Creek Energy Facility. Oglethorpe Power sponsors Youth Leadership Polk, a Polk County Chamber of Commerce Program designed to encourage students to participate as leaders in their schools and to continue promoting and enhancing the quality of life for themselves and their communities. During the event, the students from Rockmart and Cedartown High Schools learned about electricity generation and toured the Sewell Creek facility, a natural gas-fired power plant operated by Oglethorpe Power. We are proud to support the Youth Leadership Polk Program and provide educational opportunities for the next generation of Polk County leaders.

While the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins V) makes no mention of educator diversity initiatives on the state level, it does require states to use their leadership funding for recruiting, preparing or retaining CTE teachers through preservice, professional development or leadership development programs. Locally, Perkins funds recipients are required to use funds to support professional development of the educator workforce and are permitted to use funds to support recruitment and retention activities and must consider teacher diversity as part of the comprehensive local needs assessment (CLNA). Combined, the state-level leadership funds and local Perkins funds can create more opportunities for recruiting Career Technical Education (CTE) teachers that are demographically representative of the learners they serve. To explore more ways to fund and develop a CTE teacher pipeline, check out State and Local Strategies for Diversifying the CTE Educator Workforce https://lnkd.in/eR9hj2Zm
