CTE Council

For the second straight year, NBC Universal invited some of New York City’s most promising digital media artists for a day of career shadowing, counseling and networking. Yolanda Askew of NBC Universal — and a CTE success story from the High School of Graphic Communication Arts — coordinated the event to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This year’s event conducted under the umbrella of the Black Professional Alliancewas entitled, “Keeping The Dream Alive”. CTE students from Thomas Edison CTE High School, The High School of Computers & Technology, Bronx Digital Academy and The Academy For Social Action spent the morning with career mentors shadowing activities related to their career majors and interests. The students were then addressed by the general manager of NBC studios and other department heads. After listening to the advice given them by professional leaders in their field, the students were given the opportunity to showcase their own work and receive feedback. Finally students were given an opportunity to network with their peers and mentors.Many students expressed their appreciation for this event and look forward to cultivating the relationships started during the day. The day was once again an incredible success for all involved and opened opportunities for each of the CTE programs involved.
