CTE Awareness Week is an annual event that invites elementary students, high school stu¬dents, and interested members of the community to the PCC campus as a means of learning more about the programs offered. The college also aims to encourage prospective students to enroll at Palau’s only institute of higher learning via exposing them to its campus environment.
