EPISODE SUMMARY

Dave Deskins shares how views on career and technical education have evolved and how Ohio's Greene County Career Center is meeting the 21st-century employment needs in the area.

EPISODE NOTES

After years of being misunderstood, Career and Technical Education has recently seen a resurgence in public schools. Among calls for schools to “prepare students for the real world,” the pendulum of attention has swung back towards CTE.

Dave Deskins has seen the pendulum swing back and forth multiple times. Growing up, he experienced another growth and decline in CTE. Now, as superintendent of Ohio’s Greene County Career Center, he's strengthening not only the career outlook for students but also the economy of the entire region.

In this episode, Deskins shares his experiences leading during different eras of CTE and how programs like these can change a region.
