Career and Technical Education

WHAT DOES AN ADVISORY BOARD DO?Advisory Boards provide important information to the district on our Career-Based Programs of Study. They meet as a large group once during the fall to provide collaborative input on Gulf Coast Labor Market Information (High Demand Jobs our students should be targeting) and High Demand Skills (what skills students should be learning) so our students graduate ready for entry-level careers and college majors tied to High Wage, High Demand jobs of the future. Advisory Board members also provide insight into replicating real-world facilities for our students on campus so that their learning is based on industry safety and equipment standards.
