In our March episode of the Ohio College Tech Prep Podcast, host Matt Cola from Kent State University and the Northeast Ohio Tech Prep Region sits down with Bill Dimascio from the Four Cities Compact to explore an exciting and often overlooked area of Career Technical Education (CTE)—middle school programs.

During this engaging conversation, Matt and Bill dive into: Funding Strategies: How to secure and sustain financial support for middle school CTE initiatives.

Marketing Approaches: Best practices for promoting CTE programs to students, parents, and the community.

Teacher Licensure: Understanding the requirements and pathways for licensure in middle grade CTE programs.

Whether you’re an educator looking to expand CTE offerings to younger students or an administrator seeking guidance on program development, this episode has something for you!
