Public forum puts focus on career tech education - Daily Democrat Online


Public forum puts focus on career tech education - Daily Democrat Online:

"The Yolo County School Boards Association will be hosting an evening's discussion on the state of career and technical education in Yolo County from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, Nov. 16, in the community room (Building 800) at Woodland Community College.

Career and technical education is a state-funded program taught by teachers with experience in their related industries.

High school students are eligible and earn grades and credits toward graduation and in some cases, meet University of California 'a through g' requirements and can earn college credits, gain experience required for immediate employment, participate in courses that offer internships, earn certificates of completion, and experience careers that may assist in choosing college majors and enhance college admission applications."
