Career and Technical Education isn’t just something that educators should be concerned with. Business and Industry stands to benefit from high-quality CTE programs as well, because such programs provide students with academic, technical, and employability skills that are needed in the workplace. ACTE provides resources, tools and examples of best practices that can help strengthen the relationships between employers and CTE educators nationwide.
