My Project

Students in our school are more likely to enter the job market than to head off to college. In career technical education (CTE), we focus on getting these students ready for what's next by offering various industry-level certifications such as Microsoft Office Specialist, entrepreneurship, and small business. Students need rewards for completing industry-level certification tests because they motivate learning, increase self-esteem, and enhance employability.

Rewards increase self-esteem by recognizing and validating students’ achievements and efforts.

I have seen firsthand the joy and pride a student feels when they see that passing score and receive a certificate. I'd like to expand upon that joy with some extra incentive items for students who excel in this area.

We would be most appreciative of any help in providing incentive items such as water bottles and phone chargers for our hardworking students!
