Join three Work-Based Learning Support Staff members as they share their unique perspectives on supporting high school CTE programs and Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). While each serves in the same role, they support programs in different ways and bring their own experiences, strategies, and successes to the table. In this session, you'll learn how they collaborate with teachers, students, industry partners, and CTSO advisors to strengthen programs, increase student engagement, and create meaningful opportunities for student growth. Hear firsthand why they are passionate about their work, how they help programs thrive behind the scenes, and the innovative approaches they use to expand student involvement and participation.
