"Walking in a winter wonderland" ❄️

For February’s CTE Month, hundreds of student leaders and educators from across Iowa traveled to Des Moines for the annual CTE Day at the Capitol. @FBLA_National Collegiate President Jonathan Nevenhoven and @hosafhp local chapter president Arlette Esteban welcomed Director McKenzie Snow, CTE Bureau Chief Cale Hutchings and other Department team members to the day’s celebration. They met with students participating in high-quality CTE programs and career and technical student organizations from across the state. During the event, student leaders also had the opportunity to connect with legislators and other state officials to share their experiences in CTE and how career exploration, hands-on learning, industry-recognized credential attainment and work-based learning have impacted their engagement, skill development and future postsecondary pathways.
