Nov. 19, 2015 – The Tri-Heights Consortium held its annual Career Tech Fair on Thursday and packed the gym at Heights High School. Sophomores from CHHS, Shaker Heights High and Warrensville Heights High attended the event to learn more about the Career and Technical Education programs offered by the Consortium, which is operated by CHHS.
Thursday’s student-led event was a massive success that saw a crowded gym full of attendees learning about programs in Audio Engineering, Auto Technology, Business Management Technology, Clinical Health Careers, Computer Networking, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Digital Video Production, Exercise Science, Family and Consumer Sciences, Graphic Imaging Technology, Marketing Management and Pharmacy Technician.
These are two-year programs that begin in the student’s junior year and involve a two-period class for that offers hands-on skill development and in some programs, certification opportunities.
Current CTE students orchestrated the career fair and presented on their respective programs to interested attendees.
One CTE program had a special visitor before the career fair on Thursday. Shanice Dunning, Multimedia Journalist/Reporter at Cleveland’s WOIO, 19 Action News, spoke to the Digital Video Production class about the path to her current career, her internship and the importance of strong writing skills. Dunning is a 2006 Cleveland Heights High grad that went on to earn her bachelors degree from Ohio University and a masters degree from Kent State University.
