?? HELP STUDENTS EXPLORE TECH CAREERS ?? Nearly 40% of high school graduates choose a non-college path, but many don’t know what options are available. The #JustLikeMe campaign helps students discover careers in tech—like software engineering, data analytics, and cybersecurity—through an interactive career-matching tool, training resources, and digital materials. If you’re a guidance counselor, teacher, career advisor, or anyone who supports young people exploring fulfilling careers, you can help by sharing the CT Tech Careers Kit, a free resource designed to connect students with high-demand career pathways. ?? Access the kit here: https://lnkd.in/dQVqV3zR For questions or printed materials, contact Patricia Meyer at [email protected]. #CTTechHub #JustLikeMe #TechCareers #WorkforceDevelopment
