Celebrate Career Technical Education Month - February 2024
![PCS celebrates Career Technical Education Month - CTE is so much different than what many adults remember from years ago,” said WVDE Assistant Superintendent Clinton Burch. “Our students are thriving in rigorous classrooms and developing professional and soft skills that make them competitive job candidates. Our Governor’s Workforce Credential is a badge of honor because students must have at least a 3.0 grade point average, a 95 percent attendance rate, be drug freeand secure at least one industry certification to earn it. So, it tells employers these students are career ready.”](https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/preston_county_schools_ar/live_feed_image/image/7094391/large_Greenhouse_CTE.png)
