Yuma High School CTE students hold presentations at city council meetings
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Local students spoke at a meeting along with other Yuma cities.
Yuma Union High School District Career and Technical Education (CTE) students held presentations at city council meetings with the City of San Luis, City of Yuma and City of Somerton for CTE month.
The presentations had students share general information about CTE, while highlighting personal stories that expressed how CTE impacted their lives.
"Career and Technical Education plays a vital role in preparing students for a skilled workforce within our community," YUHSD Director of CTE Nereida Lansman said. "Increasing public awareness of CTE helps community members better understand how these programs provide students with hands-on learning, industry certifications, and career-ready experiences that support local industries and contribute to long-term economic growth."
It's become tradition for students to make presentations at City Council meetings at the City of San Luis, but this is the first year for the City of Somerton and City of Yuma to participate.
"Thanks to CTE, my perspective on my future has completely changed, it has provided me with opportunities that I believe would not have been possible without it," Yuma High School CTE Ambassador Ayana Logan said at the Yuma City Council work-session. "CTE has truly impacted my life, and I am excited to continue being a leader next year and represent it proudly and confidently."
