Other Ways to Get Involved
Today’s career and technical education programs are key to ensuring your industry has the skilled workforce it needs to remain competitive today and in the future. But education administrators, teachers and guidance professionals must be aware of your industry and the career opportunities it provides students for curriculum and program alignment to occur.
CareerTech Expo
Join us as an exhibitor at ACTE’s CareerTech VISION.
VISION attendees are respected hard-to-reach education decision-makers: superintendents, counselors, administrators, principals, curriculum specialists, and school board members. VISION attendees are education authorities who initiate projects and programs, solicit bids, and are prepared to make purchasing decisions based on what they see at the CareerTech Expo. Your company’s connection with these hard-to-reach education decision makers and authorities begins with reserving a CareerTech Expo exhibit space.
