The OC Pathways Student Ambassador badge is awarded to high school CTE student leaders across Orange County who are ready to connect, innovate, and lead. Recipients earned this official recognition at the OC Pathways Student Leadership Summit, where they engaged in hands-on design sprints, decoded their unique leadership styles, and collaborated with industry mentors. Throughout this summit, Ambassadors connected with alumni, built their professional LinkedIn portfolios, and learned directly from industry innovators—including experts from Blue Origin, NASA, Joby Aviation, and Clean Earth Rovers. By completing this launchpad experience, badge earners are prepared to step up as the voice of career technical education and drive student innovation through the year-long OC Pathways Impact Project.
