The key turns over to start the ignition, but nothing seems to happens. The hood is propped up as students in Henry Ford II\u2019s CTE Auto class gather at the engine to troubleshoot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an unconventional classroom setting, CTE (Career and Technical Education) classes allow students to become eligible for a kick-start into a desired field. In addition to Auto, skilled trades ranging from welding to woodworking are also available in UCS. \u201cIt is a hands-on approach for learning,\u201d junior Evan Rewitzer said, \u201cthat helps prepare you for a life in a future in a field that suits you best.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students that take CTE classes may also take the course for other reasons than just to learn about what the class is titled. There is much more to the class than just the name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like how it is hands-on work most of the time,\u201d senior Madelyn Cartwright said, \u201cand I think it will help me later on in life if I ever need to change a tire or change my brakes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skilled trade jobs are in high demand and will be increasing for years. Students in these CTE classes are looking to fill the jobs that will be created from retiring workers. \u201c I hope to use the skills learned in class to be more open,\u201d sophomore Baylie Payne said, \u201cand become less shy in front of new people that I meet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith knowing how to weld, I hope to use those skills later in life,\u201d senior Evan Deangelis said,\u201despecially because I hope to own and run my own landscaping business.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving past the stigma against skilled labor jobs, many students still believe that they are just as important as other careers that could be obtained through college degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
