Career and Technical Education schools (CTEs) provide Maine students with hands-on experiences in programs like culinary arts, welding, auto, law enforcement, early childhood education, and many more. This month, Commissioner Makin talks with three CTE leaders about this engaging learning pathway: Randy Crockett from Oxford Hills Technical School, Bobby Deetjen from Mid-Coast School of Technology, and Bill Tracy from Hancock County Technical Center. They share how CTEs help students build the skills, knowledge, and real-world experiences they need to thrive.
