  • North-Carolina Ctsos
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in North Carolina 1 As a career educator for more than 30 years in North Carolina and a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) adviser for the majority of these years, I value the impact of CTSOs. DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, Skills USA and TSA provide our students multiple opportunities to network in their field. In high school I developed and excelled in the business skills that led me to choose my career path in college and career. As our students prepare themselves for their future in education or the job market, equipping them to find their career path and to be competitive in the marketplace are two of the many benefits to belonging to a CTSO. I have seen directly how CTSOs have impacted students’ lives in multiple ways. By attending local, regional, state and national events hosted by their CTSOs, our students learn to network socially and professionally and develop leadership skills necessary to succeed in their career field and life. Our goal is for each of our students to be able to compete globally in the 21st century and find gainful employment in their field. CTSOs provide positive opportunities for our students to meet these goals by building leadership, public speaking skills, technical competencies and self-confidence. In North Carolina over 104,000 work-place credentials have been earned by students enrolled in business, health science, marketing, family and consumer science, technology, agriculture, and trade and industry

    2017 APBA COLLEGE FOOTBALL ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE ROSTER The following players comprise the 2017season APBA College Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.
