Campbell County host CTE Signing Day

This day was to “celebrate and recognize students graduating high school who will directly enter the workforce as a result of their education,” according to the school division.

Secondary objectives include:

• Highlight the many lucrative opportunities for students participating in CTE Education programs.
• Encourage businesses to engage with CTE students prior to graduation to help fulfill their workforce needs.
• Encourage students to continue to strive for excellence as their high school career ends and their future career begins.

At the signing day event, students and industry representatives signed “letters of intent” that outline the expectations of the students by the companies, plus how much each company will pay each student and what benefits and training will be provided for each student/employee.
