Southwest Utah CTE

Awesome educational opportunities at Southwest Tech. Health sciences department uses human simulators for tests and practice. Programs available for high school as well. https://stech.edu/

It was a great day last week at Water Canyon High School! The students got to participate in Reality Town- a financial simulation of experiencing parenthood. They got to learn things like buying cars and homes, paying for childcare, and even planning a family vacation! These types of events are a great way to teach kids how to experience real life challenges.

It was a great visit at Snow Canyon Middle School, where students are learning about careers during their reality store event! They got the chance to learn how to buy groceries, a car, insurance, and learn how to invest! Thanks to the amazing staff and community members for putting on this event!

We were able to visit Dixie Technical College's Culinary Academy last week. Chef Jessi has created an amazing program and shares that jobs in Culinary Arts in Southern Utah are plentiful! To find out more about high school courses in Culinary Arts, see your school counselor or Foods teacher, then check out Dixie Technical College's Culinary program. Keep on cooking Dixie Tech!

Thank you everyone for celebrating CTE month with us! I am happy to introduce the two people who are behind the Southwest Utah CTE Division!
•
Sue Winkler, CTE Coordinator(right)- “I love that CTE allows students to explore different careers so they know what occupations they do and don’t want to pursue, making their career path faster and more cost efficient.”
•
Amy Cook, Pathway Specialist(left)- “I love that CTE classes help create a mindset of college and careers starting in middle school. As students choose careers based on their interests, they feel much more fulfilled in their jobs.”

We can’t wait to keep sharing the amazing things CTE students accomplish and how CTE can benefit students!
