Thurston County Chamber Education EXPO
Huge shout out to Emma and Hayden for representing CTE. Emma was a keynote student speaker to hundreds of business members.
Thank you to the Thurston Chamber for featuring our "Reality Fair" event in the February magazine. We hope to have four events per year and build it as part of the HSBP. This is made possible by WSECU and the 40+ volunteers from our advisory committees and Graduate Yelm! partners. Check out the article starting on Page 7.
We also held the 2nd event on February 20. Another 75 students completed the program with the help Graduate Yelm! volunteers. Next event is April 21.
Sheet Metal Apprenticeship Site Visit
28 students with teachers (CTE & Math), counselors and support staff have visited the Dupont training center for Sheet Metal Apprenticeship. They toured the facility, learned about the training opportunities and heared what is needed to enter an apprenticeship. They spend half their day working side by side with apprentices building a tool box. One more trip is scheduled in March. Two students will be nominated for the Sheet Metal summer training program.
Students got to interact with the SAE animals from our barn. Great opportunity for our FFA leaders to teacher younger students about responsibility.
Thank you Sgt Brandon Austin and Brandon Hoke for coordinating a visit with military vehicles and explaining how there is a need for mechanical career pathways in and out of the military.
