In this special CTE Month episode, we sit down with Jessica Brown, Tyler ISD’s CTE Work-Based Learning Coordinator, to explore how Career & Technical Education (CTE) is preparing students for success beyond the classroom. 

Jessica shares insights on how local businesses can get involved, the impact of CTE internship opportunities, and the real-world experiences available to students across various career pathways. Plus, she highlights a valuable resourceβ€”the Professional Dress Closet, which helps students build confidence and dress for success by providing professional attire for interviews and workplace settings.

Tune in to learn how CTE shapes future professionals and how the community can play a vital role in student success!
