Description

Career & Technical Education (CTE) is transforming the future of education and workforce development. In this special CTE Month edition of Productive Disruption, host Dan Wyar sits down with three dynamic CTE leaders from across the country:

•  Chris Brida, Director of CTE & Advanced Coursework, Portland Public Schools (OR)
•  Leon Burgess, Director of Secondary Education, College & Career Readiness/CTE, Florence School District 3 (SC)
•  Melony Ritter, CTE Director, Cabarrus County Schools (NC)

Together, they discuss the power of business and industry partnerships in shaping student success, how to advocate for CTE from the district to state policy level, breaking the outdated “Vo-Tech” stereotype, and more!
