🎬 CTE Pathways Video Skit Contest — Scholarship Opportunity! 🎓
Are you a creative storyteller with a knack for video production? Do you want to win a scholarship while showcasing the power of Career and Technical Education (CTE)?
We’re awarding two scholarships — one for a high school student(s) and one for a college student(s) — to the creators of the most unique and engaging commercial video skit!
🎥 Contest Theme:
Have you seen Cobra Kai? There is a scene at the end of the show where students are receiving guidance on future possibilities. It could be interpreted from this guidance that students that have struggled in high school should only consider the trade schools, like a form of punishment for not performing well in high school. The scene could further be interpreted that some jobs and paths are lesser than others and a route towards failure. In response to this, KACTE would like to see what could have happened after this scene.
Create a short commercial-style video skit script featuring a school counselor who faces a series of real-life challenges — from car troubles to housing issues to financial dilemmas. The twist? Each problem is solved by hiring skilled professionals who followed CTE pathways — and they’re earning top dollar for their expertise!
Your skit should highlight:
The value of CTE careers and pride in the chosen career
The importance of skilled trades and technical education
How CTE professionals solve everyday problems — and get paid well doing it!
🏆 Prizes:
1 High School Student Winner: $1000 Scholarship
1 College Student Winner: $1000 Scholarship
📅 Deadline:
Submit your video script by February 27th, 2026
📜 Rules:
Open to current high school and college students
Video length: 1–3 minutes
Must be original content
Must clearly demonstrate the impact of CTE careers
Must be in a student or group of students in a CTE Career Pathway or Major
📩 How to Enter:
Send your script submission to Kiley.Whitaker@jefferson.kyschools.us
Include your name, school, grade/year, CTE pathway/major and contact information.
Get creative. Get inspired. Have fun and show the world how CTE changes lives — and win a scholarship while you're at it!
Each category is scored on a 1–3 scale:
1 = Needs Improvement | 2 = Meets Expectations | 3 = Excellent
Total Score: ____ / 12
