Students will build shelters at CTE Showcase of Skills
OLYMPIA (Dec. 14, 2016) — More than 125 high schools and colleges from across Washington state will participate in the 2017 CTE Showcase of Skills on March 27 at the Capitol Campus in Olympia to demonstrate how Career and Technical Education programs connects skills and leadership by conducting an important community service project.
CTE programs teach the technical and academic skills to prepare students for further education and/or apprenticeships that lead to high-demand living-wage job opportunities. These programs also include strong leadership and life-skills components.
“This event will highlight the career and technical skills that students learn in high school and at community and technical colleges, while helping a small community of vulnerable residents,” said Kairie Pierce, K-12/Apprenticeship/College Director for the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO. “The students will be taking pride in building these shelters and are excited to help ease the pain of homelessness.”
