In a heartfelt letter to President Obama, Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs" discusses the image issue facing career and technical education (CTE). He emphasizes the common misconception that CTE is only for “those other people,” rather than being a viable path for intelligent students. The Calhoun County Career Technical Center offers a wide range of programs, from Automotive Technology to Culinary Arts, all with industry certifications to ensure students are equipped for successful careers. This initiative aims to reshape perceptions and provide quality education to all students.
