Tolles Kicks Off SkillsUSA 2025-26! 🎯
On Friday September 12 Tolles students gathered for our annual SkillsUSA kickoff setting the stage for a year of hands-on learning leadership and competition.
We were inspired by Jackie Walker, Executive Director of SkillsUSA Ohio who leads a statewide network of more than 36,000 students and educators. A former SkillsUSA state officer and emergency trauma nurse with a masters in nursing leadership Jackie shared how career technical education helps students find their voice, rewrite their story and achieve success in both education and life.
What is SkillsUSA: SkillsUSA is a national career technical student organization that partners with schools like Tolles to prepare students for the world of work. Through industry aligned competitions leadership development and community service members sharpen technical skills, build confidence and connect with employers.
💡 Why it matters: Tolles students gain real world experience, earn credentials and develop the professional skills employers want.
Learn more at skillsusa.org.
Here is to an amazing year of growth and achievement with SkillsUSA! 🚀

🎓 MYTH BUSTED: Career centers aren’t just for students who aren’t planning to go to college.
At Tolles, many of our students:
✅ Earn college credit while still in high school
✅ Complete industry certifications and gain hands-on experience
✅ Go on to college, trade school, apprenticeships, or directly into the workforce
✅ Keep doors open — some enter the workforce first, then pursue college later
📊 Last school year, 339 Tolles students earned a total of 938 college credits.
💡 College and career readiness go hand in hand — and at Tolles, our students are ready for both.

At Tolles Career & Technical Center, students don’t just learn in the classroom — they learn by doing through Work-Based Learning (WBL) experiences!
From job shadowing to internships and apprenticeships, WBL connects students directly with local employers, giving them real-world, hands-on experience in their chosen career fields.
✅ Build your resume
✅ Earn while you learn
✅ Make career connections that matter
Last school year, Tolles students participating in internships and cohort opportunities gained valuable experience by working over 52,000 hours—and earning more than $1 million along the way. That’s real experience and real money.
📅 The countdown is ON — just 5 weeks until the first week of school!
We can't wait to see what this year’s students will achieve through WBL.
📸 Check out these grads—now hired and working in the careers they trained for through our cohort program!
