Mayor Paul Voelker signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 1-28, 2021 as Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month in Richardson. The proclamation acknowledged the importance of career and technical education and its connection to quality education, early career readiness opportunities and integrated programs of study that link secondary and postsecondary education and lead to the attainment of industry-recognized credentials. It also highlighted how CTE helps bridge a skills gap identified by business leaders nationwide and helps ensure that employers have access to a qualified and thriving workforce.
The Mayor, who was joined at the signing ceremony by RISD Superintendent Dr. Jeannie Stone and RISD CTE administrators, urges all citizens to become familiar with the services and benefits offered by CTE programs in our community and to support and participate in them.
