Celebrate CTE Month: Make February Unforgettable!
|
|
|
|
|
February is CTE Month—a perfect time to spotlight Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and all the amazing things your school is accomplishing. As part of the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), you can join the celebration by planning exciting activities that showcase the impact of CTE.
Here are some ideas to help you get started:
1. Honorary Membership
Recognize someone special with an Honorary NTHS Membership! This thoughtful gesture includes a personalized certificate, a custom frame, a membership pin, and a letter from our Executive Director. Nominate someone who has made a difference in your community or school.
|
|
|
2. Service Project
Community service is one of the NTHS Core Four Objectives, making CTE Month a great time to give back. Use your CTE skills to make a difference! Build something for the community, prepare meals for those in need, create a marketing campaign for a nonprofit, or assist with activities at a local library. The possibilities are endless!
3. Social Media Spotlights
Social media is a powerful tool for spreading the word about CTE. Share stories, photos, and achievements from your CTE programs using hashtags like #NTHSisCTE, #CTEMonth, and #CTEinAction. Encourage fellow students, teachers, and alumni to share their experiences and show their CTE pride. Feel free to share the official NTHS Social Media posts, too!
4. Celebrate Together
Coordinate with your school to host events that bring your CTE community together. Plan a spirit day, create a showcase of student projects, or invite local businesses to highlight how CTE skills connect to real-world careers.
Don’t forget to share what your chapter is doing to celebrate! Your activities might be featured on our social media or the NTHS Blog. Let’s make this CTE Month one to remember!
