As we wrap up a great week of Show-Me Careers St. Louis, we’re grateful for the educators, employers, and partners who helped bring career pathways to life. Show-Me Careers is a partnership between the Missouri Chamber Foundation, Regional Business Council and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. It connects educators with Missouri employers to strengthen career awareness and workforce readiness opportunities for students. Through employer tours, hands-on experiences, and conversations with industry leaders, participants gained valuable insights they can take back to their students and classrooms. Thank you to our employer hosts and partners for investing in Missouri’s future workforce! @wwt_inc, @AmerenMissouri, @MilliporeSigma, True Manufacturing, @CK_Power, @slda, @BiStateDev, @pfizer, @AMICSTL and @UCentralMO #ShowMeCareers #RealWorldLearning #WorkBasedLearning #MissouriWorkforce

Don’t just dream about your future. Live it now.” #WildcatPride 🐾 Nearly 60 interns. Countless futures. Today we celebrated nearly 60 Becton Wildcats completing our Career Exploration Internship Program, gaining hands-on experience in healthcare, medicine, nursing, law, business, finance, engineering, technology, education, media, architecture, public service, veterinary science, culinary arts, and many other career fields. More than 10 years ago, this program started with just a handful of students. I still remember the trustee that said "high school interns, are you crazy?!" YES, I AM! Today, it has become one of the most transformative opportunities a high school can offer. Students don't just learn about careers, they experience them. They work alongside professionals, build confidence, develop workplace skills, make meaningful connections, and gain clarity about their future before investing years and thousands of dollars pursuing a path. At @BectonHS, we believe the best way to prepare students for the future is to let them live it now. Congratulations to our interns, staft, mentors,, community partners and phenomenal coordinator, Ms. Gina Annitti, who continue making this incredible program possible. Live Your Future Now! #BectonPride #WildcatNation #CareerExploration #InternshipProgram #FutureReady #WorkBasedLearning #RealWorldLearning #BectonRegional #LiveYourFutureNow

CTE should be the connected path to social and economic mobility for every learner. It is time to dismantle the silos that have long separated Career Technical Education (CTE) from core academics and build a system where every learner, at every level, experiences career-connected learning as the norm, not the exception. From elementary school through postsecondary education and beyond, all learners deserve instruction that integrates academic, technical, and employability skills. This looks like: *Rigorous academic content living inside CTE courses and core academic classrooms integrating real-world experiences. *Career exploration, work-based learning, and coordinated advising available to every learner regardless of geography, subgroup, or next steps. *All instructors and advisors equipped with the training and resources to guide learners at every stage of their career journey. Every classroom can be a launchpad to college and career readiness.
