Episode 19 - How Are Charter Schools Growing Michigan's Career Pathways?

February is Career Technical Education Awareness Month, and our hosts are tackling the topic of career readiness head-on in this episode.

Our hosts are joined by some guests: Tabetha Cross and Jamie Seamen, who run the cosmetology program at Charlton Heston Academy; and Jeff Leidlein, the Senior Marketing Manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software.
