Vicky Wheeler is the School-to-Career Coordinator/Academy Director for the school system’s Department of Career Technical Education.
At the N.C Association of Career-Technical Education’s summer conference, the association’s Guidance and Career Development Division named her the Northwest Region Career Guidance Professional of the Year.
“It
was such a surprise and honor,” Wheeler said.
At
the awards, they said: “Vicky is
dedicated and has a strong passion for CTE. She is innovative and always
looking for better ways to improve CTE regardless of what position she
holds. She brings many years of CTE knowledge which is shared through her
continuous advocacy and leadership.”
Wheeler
said: “I am deeply honored to be recognized by my WS/FCS CTE Directors, career
development coordinators and special populations coordinators especially after
only one year of working in WS/FC Schools.”
“The
CTE program in WS/FC Schools is awesome, and our students are fortunate to be
surrounded by so many caring staff and wonderful career and technical
opportunities to help them prepare for their future.”
Wheeler
is now eligible to be considered for the state award. State winners will be
announced at the state conference in October.
According to the association, “This award recognizes school
counselors and career development professionals who have demonstrated
commitment to connecting students with opportunities for success, shown
innovation in career exploration and development, and have advocated for CTE as
a viable option for all students.”
