01 The afternoon
Information became discussion.
The workshop began with a simple premise: students make stronger decisions when they can see more than one credible path. Together, the group examined skilled careers and the education, training, and workplace learning that can lead to them.
The conversation moved beyond job titles. Students considered what different careers require, how apprenticeships and technical education work, and what they can begin doing during high school to explore their interests.
02 Inside the workshop
A small group made room for real questions.
Discussion, presentation, and reflection gave participants several ways to engage with the same central question: what could a meaningful future look like for me?
03 What students explored
Training routes
Compare CTE, community college, technical programs, apprenticeships, and other forms of preparation.
Practical next steps
Identify useful questions, reliable research tools, and actions students can take while still in high school.
