Getting At The Core
One of the common misconceptions about career tech is that CTE students don’t go on to college. That is false. CTE students have the benefit of being able to choose the future path that best suits them—whether it is college, career, military, etc. In fact, we would argue that CTE gives students an edge in college applications. Imagine the college essay of a student who can speak about the real-world career experiences and exploration of their interests they gained through their CTE?! Good stuff. Parents of grades 6-9, we know college and career seems far away to you, but we highly recommend you attend one of our upcoming FREE Delaware Area Career Center college & career chats NOW so you can be informed about this option LATER. We have two in-person events and two webinars starting soon. Programs begin on Tuesday. Those who register for the webinars will receive a recording of the chat.** February 18, IN-PERSON at DACC, 6:30pm: buff.ly/3Eh1jHL ** February 21, IN-PERSON at Orange Library, 10:30am: buff.ly/3EfYRRM ** February 24, WEBINAR, 6:30pm: buff.ly/4aVPumJ ** February 26, WEBINAR, 10:00am: buff.ly/40FDj8M ...
