🚘💼 Our Business students had an incredible opportunity to learn from Lashundra Fletcher of Cannon Motors!

She gave students real insight into the business side of the dealership world discussing the importance of credit, dealership do’s & don’ts, and even walking them through a LIVE negotiation experience to show how real deals happen behind the scenes.

Our students are gaining hands-on knowledge and preparing for what business looks like in the real world! 🔥📈

The Cleveland Career Development and Technology Center would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing guest speaker, Ms. Maggie Miller, a Nationally Registered Paramedic and Certified Phlebotomist, for taking the time to speak with our students today. Your knowledge, experience, and encouragement made such an impact and provided valuable insight into the medical field.

Thank you for inspiring and motivating the next generation of healthcare professionals. We truly appreciate your willingness to share your journey and expertise with us!

💰Our Lodging, Hospitality, & Tourism and Business, Marketing & Finance students had an amazing time at the “Reality Check: Money Matters Experience” hosted by Regions Bank at the GRAMMY Museum!

Students participated in a real-life financial simulation where they learned how to manage money, budget expenses, and make smart financial decisions all while having fun! From balancing budgets to exploring the incredible gems and exhibits throughout the museum, this experience was both educational and unforgettable.

We love providing opportunities that bring classroom concepts to life and prepare our students for the real world! 💼✨
