CEANCI is currently working on several events scheduled to take place throughout the coming school year. Our current plans are for a Pathways Project for region middle and high school students, a CTE Director meeting for high school administrators, and various advisories with business partners and high school instructors sharing ideas to improve Career Tech Education in our region. Check back here often to learn details and see dates for these events and more.

Employer Informed Competencies

CEANCI has been talking with our local business partners about their priorities when it comes to specific occupation work tasks and employability skills.  From this work we hope to better align our coursework and ultimately prepare the CTE students to meet region workforce needs.   60 employers have participated in this work, providing priorities for 40 occupations.

Boot Camp

For three weeks this past June, CEANCI hosted region business partners, and education professionals in a three day Industry Immersion Boot Camp that consisted of a day of round table workshops, and two days of tours to area businesses and educational facilities. The focus for each week was Manufacturing, Health Science, and Transportation and Logistics respectively.

Future Top Chef Competition

CEANCI expects to hold this event again in February 2022. In past years, FTC has seen student teams compete against each other for “best dish”. We have worked with local restaurants, country clubs, and farms bringing new ideas each year. Region business partners judged the entries and winners were awarded chef hats.
