**Hands-On Learning: Strategies for Non-Traditional Career Camps**
In this workshop, “non-traditional” refers to students pursuing careers where their gender represents less than 25% of the workforce, often due to cultural stereotypes.
The workshop focuses on engagement and outreach opportunities to attract more students to CTE programs and empower prospective students who may not have considered a technical career.
