Did you know that women make up less than 5% of the skilled trades workforce? ?? It’s time to change that. Skilled trade careers offer high salaries, job security, and hands-on work—without the cost of a four-year degree. From electricians to welders, women are stepping into these roles and proving that the trades aren’t just for men. Read our latest blog to learn why more women should consider these high-paying, in-demand jobs: https://lnkd.in/eEaeNZxd #WomenInTrades #WICWeek #WICWeek25 #WomeninConstructionWeek2025

From classroom to career, Kate Christiansen, RDH, IPDH, BA, credits CTE for shaping her path. ?? "Career and Technical Education (CTE) was a transformative experience that laid the foundation for my career in public health and dentistry, providing me with practical skills, confidence, and employability from an early age. CTE not only creates opportunities today but also builds a stronger, more innovative workforce for the future." — Kate Christiansen, RDH, IPDH, BA #CTEMonth #CTEWorks #PublicHealth #Dentistry

CTE programs do more than prepare students—they connect employers with skilled, job-ready talent. ?? By building early talent pipelines, establishing pre-hire agreements, and developing custom training programs, employers can take control of workforce development—rather than leaving hiring to chance. Learn how CTE programs can transform your pipeline in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/env5HqVR Interested in receiving content like this directly in your email?

Running it back! ?? I’m excited to share that I’ll be returning to Microsoft this summer as an Explore Intern in Redmond! This wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support of some incredible people. Huge thanks to Colin Lemon, my career coach through Tallo, for his invaluable guidance throughout my college journey and internship search. Shoutout to Maxwell Myers and the LinkedInOrLeftOut LLC team for helping me sharpen my interview skills with mock interviews that made a real difference. And of course, special thanks to Hillary Lundberg, Daniel Barkley, and Keirten Nivol for their mentorship throughout the Discovery Program, setting me up for success in the Explore Interview Process. Looking ahead, I’m excited to dive deeper into the tech industry, grow my skills in product management and software engineering, and learn from the best minds at Microsoft. I can’t wait to contribute, collaborate, and keep building on everything I’ve learned so far. Looking forward to sharing more about my experience as it unfolds! #MicrosoftIntern #ExploreProgram

When Students See the ‘Why’ ?? As Toni Neary, Director of Community Engagement & Workforce Innovation at SME, shares: "One of the best benefits I have heard from parents of students participating in and graduating from CTE pathway programs is the excitement their children had in learning again. For many people, that spark seems to dim a little as we move through standardized testing and assignments that just don’t seem linked to the world… With CTE pathways, students understand the value of the theory because they are seeing a direct application." CTE isn’t just an alternative—it’s a direct path to college, careers, and industry-recognized credentials. ??
