Career and Technical Education Summer Program
Registration is open for the 2019 Career and Technical Education (CTE) Summer Program. The conference will be July 23-26 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville.
Based on a first-come, first-served basis, school counselors who register will get reimbursed. The Kentucky Department of Education's Office of Career and Technical Education and Student Transition will reimburse the districts (please do not pay as individuals) for counselors who are eligible for this free registration. Visit the Kentucky Association for Career and Technical Education's website to register. (Note: There is currently a late fee that is not reimbursable.)
The conference provides outstanding professional development opportunities for all career and technical education disciplines, with program updates and content-specific sessions. There also is specific programming designed for school administrators and school counselors. Among the sessions are representatives from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority talking about scholarships and a representative from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System speaking about dual credit opportunities.
The CTE Summer Program is organized by the Kentucky Association for Career and Technical Education, with planning assistance from the Office of Career and Technical Education and Student Transition and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.
Laymon Hicks will deliver the keynote address at the opening session July 24. His doctoral research focused on building relationships, and he will use a high-energy, interactive, tell-it-like-it-is style to entertain, educate and motivate.

At North Hardin High School we have each student complete a Google form called the "Name and Need Survey." We ask students to name three people in the school building whom they are comfortable going to if they need someone. That data is then sorted and emailed to teachers so they are aware of who listed them. We then look at the students who did not list anyone and focus on building relationships with those students.
