Aldebol asks about CTE schools as civil service pathway
Aldebol asks if CTE schools count as ambassador program outreach; Otar says yes and they engage through Career Discovery Week.
Um,
There are over 130 career and technical education schools in New York City that train participants at a variety of different career clusters, ranging from health care and human services to digital technology to agriculture.
These CTE schools help build critical career readiness skills.
Provide financial literacy courses, and can partner students with higher education and employment opportunities.
Are these CTE schools considered a civil service pathway that is eligible to be counted as one of DCAS's civil service ambassador program outreach?
Absolutely.
We try as much as possible to reach the CTE schools.
We also, as a part of DOE's Career Discovery Week, where we had roughly 90 individuals from all of these, from the
CTE schools, come down to DCAS and learn more about other city agencies and also just the process for getting jobs with city government.
So we do a lot of engagement with them.
