On this podcast series, you will meet a variety of people across an array of careers and learn about their professional journey. We will explore how they got started and continued to develop their career path with knowledge, experience, connections and other opportunities. We seek to learn what happened "Between the Bullet Points" (on their resume).
Programming note: Since we believe there is a current crisis in Career and Technical education regarding a severe lack of candidates that apply for educator opportunities, many of the guests on this program may have culminated their career pathways as a CTE educator to bring their expertise directly to students preparing for professional pathways across a variety of occupation and career clusters. Our intention to highlight these individuals is to help bring awareness to the need for experienced professionals directly from their fields of expertise to help educate and prepare the next generation of entry level workers and professionals.
A special note of thanks goes to Mr. Andy Greatorex, a very talented music professional and teacher. He has created, orchestrated and edited the music behind the Intro and Outro portions of the podcast series.
