February is CTE Month

🚀✨ CTE Month is Here! Let’s Celebrate! 🎉🔧

The board, faculty, administration and students at Southeast Region ask that you join in celebrating National Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month.   This year’s state theme is Let’s Level Up With CTE – Skills That Pay Off!   This is a time when we showcase CTE programs that prepare students to be college and career-ready and prepare them for high-wage, high-demand career fields and advanced college programs.

The Southeast Region Career and Technical Center (SRCTC) has a vision to be the leader in best practices of Career & Technical Education in North Dakota.  We as a center are fully committed to providing cost-effective CTE opportunities to our local schools.  CTE is a valuable aspect of an educational experience that prepares our students for the future. It should not matter if our students transition to a post-secondary school, trades/technical school, military, or to the world of work, each needs skills to enable them to be productive citizens. CTE courses and student organizations provide opportunities for our students to not only learn specific technical skills but also the industry-desired soft skills that are required to become better leaders.

The Southeast Region Career/Tech Center with locations in Wahpeton, Oakes and Edgeley has provided CTE program opportunities for the students of southeast North Dakota since 1973.  Member schools of the SRCTC include Campbell-Tintah, Edgeley, Ellendale, Fairmount, Hankinson, Kulm, Lidgerwood, Lisbon, Milnor, Oakes, North Sargent at Gwinner, Richland #44, Sargent Central at Forman, Wahpeton and Wyndmere.

One thousand nine hundred students from Southeast Region schools attend classes on-site, in Center programs, or take part in career/tech classes through the Greater Southeast ITV Network.  SRCTC is the largest career/tech Center in North Dakota from both a geographic and student enrollment standpoint.

💡 This month, we’ll be highlighting the incredible programs, success stories, and impact of CTE on our students and community. Stay tuned and help us celebrate the power of hands-on learning!
