National Apprenticeship Week 2023! #NAW2023
What superpowers do you have? Our Saginaw County Youth Ambassadors, Cohort Four, identified their superpowers through a True Colors Methodology activity with Coach Amanda Koch and YAP Coordinator Tina Bacigalupo last week! Are you blue, green, gold, or orange? Or maybe you are a little bit of all of them! “Blue” characteristics: warm, sincere, communicative; the romantics. “Green” characteristics: analytical, investigative, calm; the problem solvers. “Gold” characteristics: organized, prepared, traditional; the rule-followers. “Orange” characteristics: spontaneous, generous, optimistic; the performers. #cteworks #ctestrong #youthambassadors
It's National Apprenticeship Week! We are so proud to say Saginaw County created the first registered teacher apprenticeship in Michigan. For more information, check out their website at https://www.sisd.cc/page/teacher-programs.

Youth Ambassadors Cohort 3 - Education Day!
Today, our Cohort 3 youth ambassadors celebrated education day by visiting Local 85 Plumbers, Steamfitters, & HVAC-R Techs, Saginaw Valley State University, and Delta College. Our ambassadors learned about opportunities in the skilled trades and healthcare industries. There were a lot of hands-on opportunities for them to really understand each program we visited. There is a lot of transformative work being done in education and the trades. The extraordinary impact of these institutions in our community and the dedicated individuals behind them are helping to shape and empower the next generation. Today, our Youth Ambassadors were inspired for a brighter tomorrow. #SaginawCountyCTE
What's up, AHHS 10th graders! Our dynamic Saginaw ISD CTE team had a great day sharing the opportunities the Saginaw Career Complex has to offer you next year. Check out these snapshots from today's presentation featuring current AHHS/SCC students who shared their amazing personal experiences as to why they attend SCC as part of their school day.
We want to give a special thank you to Mr. Holder, Mrs. Houpis, and Mrs. Rodrieguez for helping to provide career awareness and exploration to their 10th graders. Featured students include Orlando, a current nursing student, Xavier, who spent his first year in graphic arts and is now in the building construction program, and Mike, a first-year senior in the physical therapy program!
They all did a fantastic job letting their peers understand the valuable experiences they can gain from attending SCC.
It's that time of year again when our CTE teams visit 10th graders at all the local high schools in Saginaw County to talk about their opportunity to attend the Saginaw Career Complex as juniors for the next school year!
Here, we have Mr. Barlow speaking to students at St. Charles with Mrs. Hart, St. Charles Academic, College & Career Advisor. Students were shown videos of various programs and learned more about what they needed to do to apply to SCC.
Special thanks to Elizabeth (SCC Entrepreneurship student) and Carter (Animal & Ag Science student), who talked about why they chose to attend the Saginaw Career Complex and what they enjoy most.
Happy Halloween from Saginaw County CTE! Here are some fun careers for Halloween job seekers! #CTE 🎃👻
