Episode 1.10: The future starts with George Randy Zubieta
How do we create a place where students can feel like they are good at something in the classroom and can find meaningful employment? That’s what inspired Randy when he was a high school woodshop student to dream of a day he would become a woodshop teacher himself. Getting hired a week before the covid shutdown meant he had to learn to pivot early on, but providing kits for students allowed them to have hands on experiences even at home. Randy has embraced Skills USA, a Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that offers students leadership opportunities as well as an opportunity to compete with other students across the state and beyond. His students also showcase their work at the County Fair, building their real world skills for an authentic audience. As folks in these trades retire there are few skilled workers ready to take their place - and these programs are a perfect way to prepare students for the openings expected as many experts leave the field to the next generation.
