Imagine a future where every student has the tools and opportunities to carve out a successful career path – it's happening right now in the world of Career and Technical Education (CTE). February's CTE Month shines a light on the experiences offered to our students. Dr. Lori Martin, Supervisor of CTE,  joins us to discuss the "Take a Peake Job Shadowing Day" which plays a pivotal role in student success stories like that of Caiden Bingham, a Western Branch High School grad who's now thriving at Manufacturing & Design Technology, thanks to the job shadowing experience. Dacia Marxrieser from MDT, Inc., shares a behind-the-scenes look at the symbiotic relationship between local schools and the industry, and how it's helping to fill the skills gap in manufacturing. Listen to this great partnership between education and business and the impact it has on our community’s future.
