Michelle Hayes is an accounting technology major at LBCC. What made her go into LBCC’s Career and Technical Education program is that she has always loved numbers. That helped her be able to work in any field that she was looking into when she completes her accounting technology degree. 


Due to COVID, the program has been harder in that there are pros and cons. One of the pros of the program during Covid is how much instructors are helping, and one of the cons is that it's online. 


The biggest challenge is not being able to be in person, Hayes said. The biggest highlight is working with numbers and learning and making new friends along the way. 


The benefits of joining the CTE program include learning about the classes that are for accounting majors, and she can be certified in QuickBooks online and help her skills in Microsoft. 


Some information for future CTE students that Michelle shared: “Stay motivated and don't give up, because the teachers in this will support and help you in any way possible.”
