    This general session will be an opportunity for attendees – regardless of role or institution – to learn more about supporting students through this challenging time. For many of our students, their CTE Center is a place to find confidence, safety, and community; what they learn within our walls starts with skills but transcends all aspects of their world. Now that world looks very different and perhaps more challenging. Through the lens of social and emotional learning, our expert panelists will share experiences, strategies, and practices to help students navigate this current crisis and find places of stability and security.

    Despite the pandemic, there is plenty of opportunity for students to visit campuses both in-person and virtually. Although much of the application process is similar to past years, there are important changes this year. In this session, attendees will hear from representatives from Thomas College, Kennebec Valley Community College, and University of Southern Maine about college visits, the application process, and how to connect virtually with campuses.

    Bridge Academy Maine is a program that facilitates the delivery of early college academics into secondary career and technical schools in Maine via high school teachers. The mission of Bridge Academy is to provide a seamless pathway for students to gain real world technical skills at their local technical centers and enter into post-secondary programming prepared for success. Combined with rigorous academics delivered at a low cost in the traditional high school classroom, the Bridge Academy looks to break the cycle of poverty that afflicts so many of our families and students.  Students graduate high school with up to 24 core academic credits and with CTE articulation agreements some students have graduated high school with as many as 40 transferrable college credits. Successful students graduate college earlier and with less debt than their traditional classmates and enter the workforce in Maine positioned for a successful career.  Currently Bridge Academy operates in 7 of the state’s 27 Career and Technical regions with plans to be in all 27 regions.
