Bridging the Skills Gap
with CTE Charter
Schools!
Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary
to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners.
Leigh Berdrow, M.Ed.Director, Academy for Career Education
(ACE)Charter High School, Reno, NV
Why a skills gap?
Message that a four-year degree is the ONLY indication of success.
Lack of career exploration at elementary/middle school grades
Education evaluation system that overlooks “career” training.
Cultural change in work ethic.
How to Bridge the Gap: Let’s Change the Message!
A four-year college degree is not a destination. It is a “route” to specific careers. Focus on end game.
Post-secondary training (college, apprenticeships, technical training, certifications) should be determined by a person’s skills and interests and labor market demands.
Bring back exploring career options.
Recognize within education the value of CTE programs.

Let’s redefine “success” for our students by doing this:
• Explore options - encourage job shadowing, “bring your child to work” days, research careers, etc.
• Find individual skills/talent/passion: everyone likes to do what they are good at and what they enjoy. It is just as important to determine what you don’t like as well.
• Chart your course to get there: work with students to develop an educational path that fits the goal. This doesn’t mean closing doors.
• Discourage Stereotypes – consider the excellent careers in construction
