NCPS to Host Hands-On Career & Technical Education Showcase at Nash Community College ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — Nash County Public Schools (NCPS) invites all students and their families to the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Showcase: Map Your Journey: Discovering Educational Pathways to Careers. The showcase, hosted in partnership with Nash Community College and area business partners, offers an evening of hands-on career exploration. The event will take place Thursday, Feb. 14, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Nash Community College's Brown Auditorium. “We are excited to invite all NCPS stakeholders to our showcase,” Superintendent Dr. Steve Ellis said. “This event will highlight the many pathways we offer to students in our schools. Please come and experience this exciting event.” Unlike traditional events, this showcase emphasizes interactive, practical experiences that allow attendees to learn by doing. Participants will have the opportunity to: • Engage in hands-on activities to explore career tools and skills. • Take part in family-friendly demonstrations showcasing real-world applications. • Connect with local professionals to learn about career pathways and educational programs. “This event provides students with a valuable opportunity to connect with professionals who can guide and inspire them in potential career paths,” said Chad Thompson, executive director of CTE and Work Based Learning at NCPS. “It also allows them to explore various career fields, helping the student determine whether they like or dislike a particular career. Each time students participate in an event like this, they are more likely to gain meaningful insights and confidence in their career choices.” By participating in this event, students will be better equipped to make informed decisions about their career aspirations. Students will gain a clearer understanding of opportunities available to them. The showcase provides knowledge and insight needed to confidently pursue their goals and shape their future. The event is free and open to the public. Food trucks will be on-site with meals available for purchase. You can learn more about our Career and Technical Education (CTE) by visiting https://www.ncpschools.net/o/nashcte ### Media Contact: Heather Louise Finch, Executive Director of Communication/Public Information Officer hlfinch@ncpschools.net
