TEC logo and photo of Lily Jean Hack with text reading, "TEC Student Spotlight LILY JEAN HACK National Technical Honor Society PM President 12th Grade, St, Clair High School TEC Program: Digital Media Technology G TEC has taught me to step outside of my comfort zone. Going to a new school with almost entirely new people, you're forced to put yourself out there. Stepping outside of the box I put myself in allowed me to flourish, learning more about myself at every turn."
TEC Logo with text reading, "Describe the hands-on experience you gained at TEC. I've had to opportunity to use professional equipment that I wouldn't have access to outside of TEC. With my internship through TEC I am able to go out into the field and get experience interviewing people, being on camera, filming b-roll and editing videos. What is your favorite thing about attending TEC? My favorite thing about attending TEC is the community. I love that there are students from all over the county. It's so fun to make friends from outside of the bubble of your home school. The staff is also so welcoming that you immediately feel at home walking through the doors. I have personally found a huge part of my support system through staff and students at TEC. What are your post-TEC plans? I want to go to Western Michigan University for film, and eventually I'd like to be a director of photography on TV and movie sets. What advice do you have for incoming TEC students? Go above and beyond. What you get out of TEC is what you put into it. While it's an amazing place for hands-on learning, putting in more than what is expected of you will give you the upper hand in your future. Putting in the extra mile shows others-and yourself-that you are capable of doing more than what's on paper."

TEC logo with text reading, "Describe your program and what students learn This program introduces students to the field of public safety, including law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, corrections, the court system, emergency management, and emergency communications. Through classroom instruction, hands-on activities, and scenario-based learning, students explore the skills, responsibilities, and career pathways within these professions.

TEC logo with text reading, "What inspired you to teach in Career and Technical Education? I come from a family of educators and school employees and am married to a high school teacher. In my previous role with the Michigan DNR, teaching was a major component— I served as the District 9 lead First Aid Instructor, taught multiple hunter education classes, and presented to students of all ages. During my career in law enforcement, I recognized gaps in my own preparation and felt a strong need to further educate and prepare young adults for careers in public safety. I felt confident I could draw on my personal and professional experiences and knowledge to help students prepare for a long and successful career in public service."
TEC logo with text reading, "CTE prepares students to enter the workforce. Students gain real-world employability and industry skills, and upon graduation, can immediately seek employment in a field of interest. — Bobby Watson How does your real-world industry experience influence your teaching? My experience as a a non-traditional law enforcement officer allows me to bring a unique skill set to the classroom. I was fortunate to work with numerous traditional law enforcement agencies, and I have extensive experience working with federal, tribal, and other state agencies as well. These experiences give me a broad knowledge base to draw on when teaching."
