New & Related Services Division

The New and Related Services Division includes several sections. These sections represent individuals from emerging areas of career and technical education unrelated to an established ACTE Division or individuals from areas that provide specialized support to broad areas of CTE that often cut across all Divisions.

Student Access & Equity During a Time of Uncertainty

The Association for Career and Technical Education Administration and New and Related Services Divisions are partnering with the CTE Equity Council and Penn State University to host a live event featuring a panel of experts focused on how to support access and equity during COVID-19. While no one has all the answers, we will share what we know, take questions, and are eager to learn from other participants about your promising practices in the era of COVID-19.
