Altman Named to Wake County Career Advisory Team

Hospitality and Tourism Program Director and Instructor Michael Altman has been invited to join the Wake County Career Advisory Team (CAT), a group of Career and Technical Education administrators and teachers working together to make sure the high school hospitality and tourism and marketing curriculum are effectively preparing our students to enter the workforce.

The goal of the CAT is to gain a better understanding of what knowledge and skills employers need young people to have as they enter the industry and to share it with educators who can use that information to adjust their curriculum to help students successfully complete school and better prepare them for meaningful employment.

The CAT met on March 10 to begin its work by reviewing preliminary data from an initial survey of its members and will continue its collaboration throughout the school year by attending CAT meetings, facilitating virtual demonstrations or collaborative talks with students and/or teachers, or offering advisory support via email or over the phone.
