Mayor Paul Callaghan has officially proclaimed the week of February 17th to 21st as Career Technical Education Week, emphasizing the importance of CTE programs in preparing students for future careers. The proclamation highlights Rochester's collaboration with Dover and Somersworth as part of the Tri-City region in enhancing CTE opportunities for local students.
The proclamation notes that CTE encompasses a wide range of career paths, including fields in business, health, creative arts, nature, and building and construction. These programs are designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand careers.
By working together, the cities of Rochester, Dover, and Somersworth are committed to providing students with diverse educational experiences that will help them thrive in the workforce. The collaborative approach ensures that students have access to valuable resources, training, and hands-on experience in various industries.
As Career Technical Education Week approaches, Rochester schools are gearing up for Career Spirit Week, which highlights career awareness and exploration throughout the entire Rochester School District. This week serves as a reminder of the vital role these programs play in shaping the futures of our students.
