ALPENA — On Tuesday night, Alpena Public Schools students and their parents packed the halls of Alpena High School to learn more about Career and Technical Education programs and career opportunities in the area.

The expo featured several local organizations and businesses that set up tables at the event, including the Alpena Fire Department, The Boys and Girls Club, Besser Company, Alro Steel, Massage Works, and Holcim.

All CTE classrooms were open with students and staff available for attendees to talk to.

Students in the welding classroom demonstrated the use of virtual welders, which give students the opportunity to practice welding without using real heat and metal.

A set of doors open in the welding classroom revealed the welding gear that students would use.
