Presentation Description:
Development of leadership skills, practical hands-on experience, local to national competitions and conferences, planning of school and community events, preparation for life's challenges, sharing of common interests and experiences, and lasting friendships. These are the benefits to CTE students that belong to a CTSO (Career Technical Student Organization) like FFA, FBLA, FHA-HERO, DECA, HOSA and Skills USA. Attend this panel presentation and hear from area ROP students who are learning to connect academics and the world of work, achieve higher academic and CTE standards, gain confidence and knowledge through competitions, and belong to a positive group.
