BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Warren Tech of Jefferson County Public Schools for their 50th anniversary.

Warren Tech is one of the leading Career and Technical Education (CTE) centers in Colorado, preparing students to jump straight into successful careers or to be competitive applicants for college. For five decades, Warren Tech has empowered students through 36 innovative programs, where experienced faculty and industry partners collaborate to provide real-world projects, internships, and apprenticeships. They have equipped students with Post-Secondary Workforce Readiness (PWR) skills while providing over 13,000 free college credits and 1,600 industry certifications annually.

Warren Tech's rigorous educational programs, ranging from agriculture, STEM, arts, trades, and more, are proof of their mission to make meaningful connections between 21st Century academic knowledge and career-focused learning.

On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, it is my honor to congratulate Warren Tech on its 50th anniversary and thank all the educators and dedicated individuals who work there for their commitment to our community.
