The Walker Talker
Walker Career Center weekly update - February 19, 2021
National CTE MONTH!
The real-life impact of CTE is seen every day in students’ lives and the communities they join after high school. CTE is a key catalyst for employers’ talent pipelines and an important driver of our state’s economic growth and prosperity. Here in Indiana, we’re committed to furthering this impact through new programs of study launching in the fall of 2021.
Career and technical education in Indiana doesn’t have to look like yesterday’s shop class. Today’s CTE students are learning skills and competencies to prepare them for high-paying and high-tech careers in STEM fields, Advanced Manufacturing, IT, Health Sciences and more. CTE students have opportunities to earn credentials while in high school and reduce their education and training costs after high school, get real-world experience through internships and other work-based learning opportunities, and ultimately increase their earning potential.

SALON DAYS!
The Cosmetology team has been spending the past few weeks cranking out various lab activities as they continue to press forward with obtaining their 1,500 hours required for state licensure. These ladies stay until 4:00 PM every day and come in on Saturday's to make sure they meet all of the required hours. Their commitment and passion really shines through in their work!
Good Luck to our State Wrestlers!
