Career and Technical Education Students Benefit!
As educators, we appreciate the traditional focus of CTE and FBLA participants on trades. While recognizing the value in these paths, we also want to highlight the potential for students to become entrepreneurs and business leaders. This aligns seamlessly with our mission to provide teachers with tools for economics, personal finance, and financial literacy education, as well as exposure to free enterprise and entrepreneurship. We believe in empowering teachers to guide students toward diverse and achievable career aspirations.
