We are CTE

Celebrating the Faces Behind Career & Technical Education

CTE happens because of students like you.

 

This CTE Month, we’re celebrating students who are discovering their strengths, building real skills, and preparing for their futures through Career & Technical Education. Every program, classroom, and hands-on experience helps turn interests into opportunities.

Across the country, members of our community shared photos holding a simple message: I am CTE. Each one represents growth, confidence, and progress. It’s students learning by doing, finding direction, and taking meaningful steps toward careers and goals that once felt far away.

 

Our CTE Month video brings those moments together. It shows what happens when students commit to learning new skills and challenge themselves to grow. Behind every photo is a story of effort, determination, and possibility.

This month, we celebrate CTE students who are building their futures one skill, one class, and one experience at a time. You are the reason these programs exist and the reason they continue to grow.

 

Thank you for being part of CTE and the NTHS community. Your curiosity, hard work, and willingness to learn are shaping what comes next.

 

This is CTE; and together - We are CTE!

Career Pathway Spotlight

Healthcare: Innovation, Impact, and Leadership in Action

Healthcare is evolving fast, and many of the most important changes are happening in ways you might not expect.

 

Today, healthcare teams use remote patient monitoring to track vital signs from home, helping catch complications earlier and reducing hospital stays. AI tools are also supporting earlier detection of conditions like cancer and heart disease. At the same time, critical behind-the-scenes roles such as sterile processing, health information technology, and patient care coordination are essential to patient safety and quality care.

Leadership in healthcare shows up long before a job title includes the word “manager.” Professionals lead by educating patients, coordinating care, solving problems in real time, and supporting community health efforts like screenings and outreach programs. These same leadership skills are reinforced through organizations like HOSA, a valued CTSO partner that helps students explore healthcare careers while building confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of purpose through competition, service, and collaboration.

From Student Leader to Advisor

Pamela Wagner's Full-Circle Journey with NTHS

Pamela Wagner’s journey with the National Technical Honor Society is a powerful example of how leadership, service, and commitment can come full circle. From her beginnings as an NTHS member, to serving as Georgia’s State President at the student level, and now giving back as an NTHS Advisor, Pamela’s story reflects the lasting impact NTHS has on students and educators alike. 

Pamela currently serves as an NTHS Advisor at Southern Regional Technical College in Tifton, Georgia. Her connection to NTHS is deeply personal. She began her NTHS journey in August 2021 after returning to college later in life through Career and Technical Education. Through CTE, Pamela completed extensive coursework that equipped her with practical skills and opened doors to new career pathways, reinforcing her belief that education should always be used to serve others. 

Her dedication to NTHS quickly grew beyond membership. As a student, Pamela served as a chapter president, then advanced to the state level where she held roles including Vice President/Historian before being elected State President.
