St. Croix Career & Technical Education Center (CTEC)

CFVI awarded a grant to the St. Croix Career & Technical Education Center (CTEC) to provide operational support to the Academy of Hospitality & Tourism Program. This three-year program focused on teaching theory and practical skills related to the hospitality and tourism industry to approximately 150 students, ranging from 9th to 12th grade. The students engaged in off-campus experiences such as field trips to hotels, gaining practical application and experiences to enhance their resumes and portfolios. Notably, students achieved success in nationwide competitions, hosted customer service training sessions, and secured job opportunities through guest speaker engagements. Additionally, the grant supported the hosting and sponsorship of the annual Business Conference, further enriching students' learning experiences.
