Student Experience

Students enrolled in CTEC remain registered at their home high schools but attend CTEC for half a day every other day. This arrangement allows them to benefit from specialized training while maintaining their connection to their home school.

CTEC is designed to provide comprehensive career and technical education that aligns with regional industry needs, promotes equitable access to career pathways, and enhances both student outcomes and local economic development.

Students from Glasgow’s Hospitality & Tourism Management (HTM) program recently participated in an engaging field trip to Brasserie Byronz, where they gained firsthand insight into the restaurant industry. During the visit, students toured the kitchen and interacted with professionals including a prep manager for catering, line cook, and executive chef/kitchen manager, learning about the day-to-day operations behind the scenes. Students also observed the preparation of a carrot soufflé, reviewed the recipe, and even had the opportunity to taste the finished dish. The experience was further enriched by owner Emelie Alton, who shared valuable perspectives on front-of-house operations and joined students for a Q&A session over lunch. This hands-on experience provided students with meaningful exposure to culinary and hospitality careers, bringing classroom learning to life in a real-world setting.
