NYSSCA Webinar: From Trades to Schools: How Lived Experience Strengthens School Counseling Practice Webinar
2026-03-12 18:00 - 19:00
This session explores how lived experience in the
skilled trades can strengthen school counseling
practice by improving how counselors support
career exploration, student engagement, and
postsecondary decision-making. Using realworld
examples, the presentation focuses on
transferable counseling skills—such as
normalizing exploration, identifying strengths
beyond academics, providing realistic guidance,
and helping students connect effort to purpose
—that can be applied across all school settings,
regardless of access to CTE or trade programs.
