CTE Opportunities

Career and Technical Education Field Trips

Career education helps lay the ground work for future career development. It helps students learn about their interests, aptitudes, and skills, and develop a positive attitude toward work. Thanksgiving Point's career experiences give students an in-depth look at a variety of careers. After a DNA extraction activity, one career education student told a counselor, “I think I might really become a scientist! This was cool!”
