Aldebol asks about data on CTE programs and trade schools
Aldebol asks for data on CTE and trade school outreach; Otar says they will get back with the list and that they target trade schools based on upcoming exams.
Do you have specific data on the CTE programs that you work with or visited?
We can get back to you on the data with that.
We saw that in FY 2025, DCAS engaged in outreach events at just four trade schools.
Could you please share which trade schools those were and whether those schools were selected for the specific purpose of targeting prospective applicants who were learning skills that could help fill crucial roles in the municipal workforce?
I'll have to have the team check our list of events to determine exactly which schools we participate in, we worked with.
But one of the things that we try to do is if we know that, for example, there's an automotive service worker exam that's coming up, we try to target our outreach to a trade school that deals with automotive work.
And so we try to be strategic in the outreach that we're doing based on the agency's needs and the exams that are coming up.
