GOGEBIC COUNTY - Fourteen UP applicants will receive funding for 17 new state-approved CTE programs to help meet rising student demand and regional labor needs, including funding going to the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District thanks to a share of the $24.2 million in Career and Technical Education (CTE) expansion grants allocated by the Michigan Legislature and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer through the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). Historically, CTE programs have been reserved for high school students. However, the latest funding opens the door to middle school CTE exposure in Michigan for the first time. Districts will be incorporating middle school learning labs with hands-on, industry-aligned experiences. The Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District will receive $400,000 for High School Construction Trades as part of this round of funding.
