ACTE has updated its fact sheet about the economic benefits that CTE programs have for learners and communities across the country. The Investing in CTE map shows just a sampling of CTE's financial impacts across different states and localities:
- Five years after earning a CTE credential in Ohio, on average, individuals receive a more than 220% return on investment.
- Iowa Community College alumni employed in the Iowa workforce generate $4.8 billion in added income for the state’s economy.
- Secondary CTE concentrators in Massachusetts, on average, make $3,359 more in annual earnings seven years after graduating high school than non-CTE concentrators.
Please share this infographic, along with ACTE's other fact sheets, with fellow CTE advocates, the media, policymakers, and students and families to communicate the many benefits of CTE.
