Career and Technical Education (CTE) plays in shaping the workforce, economy, and society. Governor Perry asks viewers to envision a world without skilled tradespeople\u2014no electricians, plumbers, mechanics, healthcare workers, or other essential professionals. He emphasizes how such a world would struggle to function, underscoring the importance of CTE in providing the training and education necessary for these vital careers.<\/p>\n<p>The video advocates for greater investment in CTE programs, illustrating how they prepare students for high-demand jobs, foster innovation, and contribute to economic growth. Governor Perry stresses that CTE not only equips individuals with technical skills but also empowers them with confidence, purpose, and the ability to build a successful future. The message is a powerful call to action to support and prioritize CTE as a cornerstone of education and workforce development.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><section id=\"row-block_2fba6fa429e8da8648713a78b62d8261\" class=\"cta-link-list\">\r\n  <div class=\"content-area\">\r\n    <div class=\"cta-box\">\r\n                    <h4>Join Texas Industrial Vocational Association Today<\/h4>\r\n        \r\n                    <ul>\r\n                                            <li><a href=\"\/tiva\/about-tiva\/board-of-directors\/\" target=\"_self\" >Board of Directors 2024-2025<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1nsHqQZfmdViv4x1ridrdgJZQxci6qqAT\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" >Election Letter 2024-25<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdaWrs_OGQt2hISkmGcEyJZxicGha3nYJfDCpr2UeeRRLRuJQ\/viewform?usp=header\" target=\"_blank\" >TIVA CTE Best of Texas<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rWlWCP_uEr6_WEcJE3eu9lblNIi0thyE\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" >TIVA Award Nomination Form<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1EP6dbffxAEXdxoysgFKDSmsyuKcmZzN4\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" >Constitution and Bylaws<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdRI7UbGRgyHKNDHgn52FB1tUYUsm1gXELtE234pe9cArC-fw\/viewform?usp=header\" target=\"_blank\" >District Director Application<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfqEofmHN53kMNpJz8sjSQoiuEoQr-Ains1NZylRNXwxydJuA\/viewform?usp=header\" target=\"_blank\" >Executive Board Application<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1-D2K0enIoCxZWk0doqsroHk9k-3zVy24\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" >TIVA W-9<\/a><\/li>\r\n                                        <\/ul>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<section id=\"row-block_eeb9fff8de1d3d0fb3253534647cb1cf\" class=\"home-three-column\">\r\n  <div class=\"content-area\">\r\n    <div class=\"column-boxes\">\r\n                            <div class=\"column-box\">\r\n                        <div class=\"image-area\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"img-box\">\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acteonline.org\/tiva\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/New-Teacher-1500x1126-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid\">\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"text-area\">\r\n                                                            <h3>Our Mission<\/h3>\r\n                            <p>To ensure the impact and advancement of Career and Technical Education in Texas, TIVA is committed to: Providing cutting edge, robust professional development and instructional mentorship;
