CTE and the Workforce - STEMconnector

 Register today!

Wednesday, February 28th, 1-2 PM EST

Engaging students in educational experiences that align with workforce needs has a long history in the United States dating back well over a century. Today, Career and Technical Education (CTE) constitutes the primary system that enables learners to connect with career opportunities and industry partners. 

CTE programs can support nearly every sector of the labor force. In celebration of CTE Month - February - STEMconnector will host a virtual discussion with Advance CTE, Val Verde Unified School District, and ISTE on how CTE is supporting their workforce development initiatives and how CTE is driving STEM education outcomes. 

The event will include Q&A, allowing participants to engage with the speakers.
