“Each time I speak with local employers or alumni, I’m reminded just how vital CTE programs are to our region,” said Jared Davis, director of Career and Technical Education. “Many local businesses rely on our graduates, and their success stories show the real impact our programs have on the local economy.”
Gretchen Steffan, director of the Saratoga Warren Washington Workforce Development Board, said that CTE is building a pipeline of skilled workers for the regional economy. Apprenticeships and internships offer young people an opportunity to learn and grow their skills and abilities, she added.
“You are an important part of the fabric of America,” Steffan said. “America needs skilled trades to keep America going, to keep America strong.”
