Guidance, may not fully understand about technology, skilled occupations or how to become a technological educator. As a technological educator, be pro-active and offer your assistance and expertise. Make a difference!
It’s time this changed: “When I went to high school, none of my teachers or counselors talked to me about aprenticeships.” #skilledtrades.
