From engineering and health sciences to information technology and skilled trades, students in VWSD’s CTE programs are gaining the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in today’s workforce.”

“Our CTE programs empower students with real-world experience, equipping them with the tools to succeed in their future careers,” Director of Career and Technical Education Dr. Terence James said. “By providing hands-on learning and industry-aligned training, we are preparing our students to be career-ready and competitive in a rapidly evolving job market.”

As part of the celebration, VWSD will host a series of events, including:
– CTE Student Spotlights – Showcasing student achievements and success stories on socialvmedia.
