Join us for Listening Session V: How Can Career and Technical Education and Out-of-School Programs Help Address Climate Change? Many children and youth attend out of school programming, which provide critical opportunities for experiential education. Similarly, nearly 9 million students take CTE courses which involve hands-on learning as preparation for job opportunities. This listening session will focus on how out of school and CTE programs are uniquely positioned to engage youth in learning about sustainability and green careers. Panelists will share their experiences developing and implementing both types of programs.
