What a great way to end #CTEworks week: touring Cleveland’s Electrical Joint Apprenticeship & Training Center with @oftunion.bsky.social & others. Students here are earning while learning, building skills with their heads & hands and real pathways to union jobs.

Glad to be back in Rio Rancho to see RioTECH one year after opening its doors. I was thrilled to hear new Superintendent Dr. Robby Dodd talk about making sure every student graduates with three things: confidence, a plan and a credential. #CTEworks @rrseu.bsky.social

The Sound School allows students to connect their passions with purpose, and gives them the chance to learn by doing and collaborating. This is what's possible with public education. #PublicSchoolProud #CTEworks @AFTCT.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aft....

Public schools are full of moments that change lives. That’s why we’re relaunching #PublicSchoolProud — to lift up stories like Savannah’s in Philadelphia, where she told @governor.pa.gov & me how her CTE high school changed her life. #CTEworks youtu.be/i450tFRc2fg

Thank you to @ibewinternational.bsky.social for the tour of Cleveland’s Electrical JATC—and for the incredible work you do every day. Seeing students earn while they learn, gaining skills with their heads and their hands, is a reminder of the power of unions to build futures. #CTEworks

Great to have the AFT CTE committee in New Lexington, OH, learning from fellow union leaders & seeing firsthand how the district makes #CTEworks. Grateful for their commitment to students’ futures & glad Sherrod Brown joined us to stand with educators & working families.

This is the future of public education: engaging kids, creating real pathways to college and careers, and strengthening communities. I can’t wait to return to New Lexington to see how far they go. #PublicSchoolProud #CTEworks

When we meet kids’ passions and marry them with purpose, we create pathways to a better life. And that’s what career & technical education does. Thank you @governor.pa.gov, Mayor Parker, @PFTLocal3.bsky.social, and all who joined us for today’s roundtable at Murrell Dobbins today. #CTEworks

Dr. Shervon Thompson is the the principal of Murrell Dobbins Career and Technical High School. She’s the 1st alum of the school to serve as principal, and says that schools like Dobbins provide opportunities that wouldn’t have existed before, for herself, her family, and many more. #CTEworks

The new Workforce Development Center (built with support from the @aft.org) is a shining example of what happens when public schools become true community hubs. Families will benefit from a brand-new health clinic (slated to open Dec 2026), adult ed programs, free meals, & more. #CTEworks

In New Haven, CT, students at The Sound School are learning by doing—whether it’s aquaculture, agriculture, robotics, or scuba diving to check the oysters they’ve been cultivating: www.youtube.com/shorts/IIIm1...

For too many students, school feels like just “sitting there.” CTE changes that. It gives students a reason to show up, a skill to master, and a future to look forward to. #CTEworks
94% Graduation Rate. The results from CTE speak for themselves.
