A regional group is forming to improve career and technical education for students in the Roanoke Valley and Alleghany Highlands.
A 2020 study of career and technical education programs at K-12 schools and community colleges in eight localities revealed potential to better connect students with careers in trades, services and industry, said Morgan Romeo, executive director for the nonprofit Virginia Career Works of the Blue Ridge.
âWeâre trying to figure out who from the schools is going to represent,â Romeo said of the assembling collaborative. âItâs probably going to be a pretty large group, but the more people we have, the better to get all the information we need.â
