On Tuesday, February 9, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution recognizing February as CTE Month? and declaring the Senate’s support for its goals. The measure, drafted and circulated by Senate CTE Caucus co-chairs Tim Kaine (D-VA), Rob Portman (R-OH), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and introduced with an additional 17 co-sponsors, passed unanimously.

“CTE Month is an opportunity for millions of students and education professionals to share the accomplishments and importance of CTE nationwide, and we are thrilled to celebrate with our partners in the Senate Career and Technical Education Caucus this year,” said ACTE Executive Director LeAnn Wilson. “By working with their colleagues to affirm the Senate’s support for CTE Month and its goals through this resolution, they have advanced our community’s effort to build awareness of CTE’s role in preparing all students for the 21st century economy.”
