LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Organizations like Future Business Leaders of America and HOSA-Future Health Professionals were recognized at the Capitol on Tuesday. Future business leaders and future health professionals spoke to Nebraska senators, to discuss why the state should get involved to make sure Career and Technical Student Organizations receive more funding.
Makenna Morgan, a Senior at Lincoln Southeast High School and member of HOSA, said it’s important to start conversations with local government leaders to make sure senators understand why investing in their future is imperative.
“We’re getting our voices heard for CTSOs to get more funding,” Morgan said. “A lot of us want representation for our organization to prove we are the next generation of workers to get our skills heard.”
Morgan said through those programs she was able to learn soft skills before pursuing a career in nursing.
