       RECOGNIZING NATIONAL CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION MONTH

  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Madam Speaker, as co-chair of the Career and Technical 
Education Caucus, I rise to recognize National CTE Month.
  CTE programs, like those at the Genesis Center in my home State of 
Rhode Island, show the promise of economic opportunities for CTE 
students of all ages.
  Cindy's story is a great example. She was unemployed when she 
enrolled in the Genesis Center's Pharmacy Technician Pre-Apprenticeship 
Program at CVS, and before she completed her training, Cindy was 
offered a job. She then went on to get her Pharmacy 2 certificate, and 
she currently holds a full-time position in the Lifespan Health System.
  Cindy's story is just one of many CTE successes, and I am so proud to 
honor her and the millions of other students and educators this month.
  Madam Speaker, I am also pleased to recognize my good friend and CTE 
Caucus co-chair, GT Thompson, for his leadership in advancing CTE 
policy in Congress. GT's partnership has been absolutely invaluable, 
and I look forward to continuing our work together this month and 
beyond.
