A masonry instructor in rural North Carolina pulled a quiet freshman aside and told him he saw something special in him. That student went on to earn two master’s degrees and eventually became Executive Director of the National Technical Honor Society. Peyton Holland knows what the right mentor at the right moment can do to help a student and he's dedicated his career to replicating it.

He joins host Jason Altmire to discuss how NTHS goes beyond recognition to give CTE students real leadership experience, flexible scholarships, and a community that connects programs across every discipline. Peyton says these opportunities allow students to take responsibility for more than just their grades; they are able to take early ownership over their work and become the leaders that employers want to hire.
