Career and Technical Education Month
 By enrolling in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) course or program, students learn the technical applications of many occupations while preparing for higher education or entry-level employment. A core program of CTE courses is offered in every middle and high school including Business and Information Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health and Medical Sciences, Marketing, Technology and Engineering Education, and Trade and Industrial Education. Since this is an elective, course offerings may vary by school. Learn more on the CTE website.
CTE also offers summer programs for students to explore their programs. Enroll now!

She is currently working as a research assistant in the bioengineering department at George Mason University and also leads the Girls Who Code Club at her school. The IRO competition is open to students from all over the world and registration is now open. |
