Career and Technical Education incorporates real-world education in the work force in an effort to prepare students for their future in practical ways. 

It is very challenging to teach emotional intelligence to high school students. 

Soft skills endure and help students in the workforce into their futures. 

Helping students find the right job.

I need more help with finding and supporting certifications for my kids. 

Having students research careers and take career assessments is an important element in career education. 

Teaching students to appreciate and be exposed to different cultural backgrounds and experiences will help them in the corporate world and in their futures. 

Planning for the future and making those goals happen is a huge part of career training and education. We can use SMART goals to help students make meaningful and measurable goals. 

It is very hard to teach professionalism without real-world experience like an internship or work-study.

I like the idea that failure can be a powerful lesson, and workers of the future need to be adaptable and innovative in the face of hard situations.
