Every February is CTE Month, a time to raise awareness of the role that Career and Technical Education (CTE) has in readying our students for careers and college and helping our nation achieve economic success and workforce competitiveness, along with recognizing CTE community members’ achievements and accomplishments nationwide.
Despite the evidence that CTE is integral to preparing students for success, some still harbor a negative stereotype of CTE. We seek to raise awareness, improve understanding and communicate the vital role of CTE in the nation’s future. Forty-nine states and over 700 schools use this month to communicate the vital importance of CTE in their communities.
