CTE Student Ambassador Application

Applications Due Monday, May 18th

If you’ve ever wanted to get more out of your academy experience than just sitting in a classroom, you should definitely think about applying to be a CTE Student Ambassador for next year. This is basically the "Face of the Program" role. You’ll get to head out to our local elementary and middle schools to lead mini-workshops, help out at community events, and even get invited to exclusive dinners and panel discussions to do some high-level networking.

I honestly recommend this for everyone...even if you think you’re way too shy for it. Our current ambassadors always talk about how much this program helped them find their voice and build the kind of confidence you just can’t get from a textbook. It’s a great way to practice those soft skills, learn how to handle yourself professionally, and make some great friends across all the different CTE pathways in our district.

If you want to be considered, the deadline to apply is Monday, May 18th. We’ll be holding the interviews right after that on Tuesday, May 19th. Don’t talk yourself out of it! This is a huge opportunity to open some doors for yourself. Let’s get those applications in.
