The annual signing day event, which HCPS has put on since 2018, brings students’ families, workforce recruiters, and school instructors together to celebrate the milestone of securing a first industry job. henricocitizen.com/his-future-is-…

School systems from Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia’s Henrico County Public Schools Workforce and Career Development all met with the US Secretary of Labor to discuss the future of the American Workforce. facebook.com/media/set/edit… #HenricoCTE #LifeReady

Industry partnerships are a hallmark of our CTE program, and we had an opportunity to share best practices at the U.S. Department of Labor’s workforce roundtable. A big thanks to Jeff Lewis and Skye Allan for contributing to an amazing morning. youtu.be/gvu6C0J3X6Q #HenricoCTE
