Community, business, industry, families and educators will gather around a shared interest in Career and Technical Education (CTE) on Nov. 3.
The Building Bridges event is scheduled for 5:15-7:30 p.m. at Central High School. The event is open to the public at no charge.
“The goal is to make our CTE programs better,” said Linn Exline, superintendent. “Community input helps us align learning experiences with the workplace.”
Guests will hear students present about CTE projects, tour CTE facilities and discuss strengthening Salina through CTE. Salina Public Schools culinary students will prepare and serve a variety of hors-d’oeuvres.
Tom Christy, co-founder of Geoprobe Systems, will open the event with a talk about Salina’s entrepreneurial spirit. While that spirit drives industry and community growth, it is also an attractive quality for tomorrow’s workforce.
“Our goal is to retain talented students and encourage them to pursue careers in Saline County,” said Curtis Stevens, director of secondary education.
Building Bridges is a partnership between USD 305, the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, and Kansas WorkforceONE. The partnership is designed to continuously improve CTE services.
