MALTA — February marks Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month and Kishwaukee College, along with institutions across the state of Illinois, are celebrating the initiative.
CTE focuses on providing students with the skills and training necessary to fill in-demand roles in the local workforce. Support for CTE is critical as technical and vocational careers are anticipated to play a large role in helping the economy recover from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. CTE programs can be adapted to local workforce demands, and Kishwaukee College has already played an active role in modeling its courses based on the needs of the community.
Kishwaukee College actively works to create and offer vital health science programs as demand for skilled health care employees — such as nurses or medical assistants — continues to rise. The College created a Contact Tracer program when more people were needed to track the spread of COVID-19 infection. Kish is adjusting its Computer Information Systems courses to better meet the job skills needs for today’s information technology environment.
