On Tuesday, students and their future employers will gather to make their plans official at Henrico County Public Schools’ annual Career and Technical Education Letter-of-Intent Signing Day. The event recognizes seniors who have earned industry credentials and are entering the workforce. When the event debuted in March 2018, it sparked hundreds of calls to HCPS from school divisions across the country asking for advice on replicating the idea.
The fourth installment will last several hours on May 24 and be organized into smaller ceremonies, by industry. The signing day will again be held at the Junior Achievement Finance Park, on the third floor of Henrico County Public Library’s Libbie Mill branch. There will be limited public attendance, with space reserved for families, guests and members of the media. Aimee Rogstad Guidera, Virginia’s secretary of education, is scheduled to attend.
