In this episode of Sage Studio, host Tiffiny Webster is joined by Brandy Yurkosky and Jared Tourse from Sage Oak's high school department to discuss the school's cutting-edge Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs focusing on Entrepreneurship and Information Technology. Brandy, an education advisor since 2018, introduces the new Entrepreneurship One class designed for students interested in business who might already be running their own ventures. The program provides foundational skills, progressing through Entrepreneurship Two, culminating in internships and certifications. Jared, with a background in Math and eSports, outlines the Info and Tech pathway, which includes an Intro to Computer Science and an AP Computer Science class. Students can also engage in internships within Sage Oak's IT department, gaining real-world experience. Both pathways offer diverse opportunities, field trips, and integrative learning experiences, combined with community and academic collaboration.
