Columbia County issued the following announcement on Jan. 12.
Columbia County, along with the Columbia County School District, Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and Columbia County Chamber Foundation, are excited to host the second annual Columbia County CTAE (Career, Technical and Agricultural Education) Workforce Showcase Competition February 11-12, 2022. Friday, February 11, 2022 will be the CTAE skills competition with the awards ceremony being on Saturday, February 12, 2022. Each organization is partnering together to host this local competition for CTAE students in the twelve pathways spread throughout the five area high schools.
Last year, the Auto Skills Columbia County competition was hosted at Fleet Services with twenty-one students competing in the automotive pathway. The competition was a huge success and provided employers an amazing opportunity to see first-hand the work readiness of the students in this particular pathway. Because of the success of the Auto Skills Competition, the County, the School District and the Chamber Foundation decided to expand the competition to include twelve pathways. The pathways include: Audio Visual, Automotive, Business, Culinary, Cyber, Engineering, Fire Services, Graphic Design, Health Sciences, Law Enforcement, ROTC, and Teaching.
The Columbia County CTAE Workforce Showcase Competition will provide students an opportunity to showcase their skills. The competition will be beneficial for teachers, students, and local businesses by providing an educational and fun way for students to interact with local businesses outside of the classroom. Student talent will be showcased to local business owners, and students will be able to learn about potential employment opportunities after high school graduation.
