👷♀️Happy Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month! 👩💻
February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month - a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to highlight the importance of CTE in providing students with the skills and knowledge essential for success in a variety of careers. It's a time to showcase the achievements of CTE programs, the importance of CTE for our students, and the contributions of educators and workforce partners.
CTE Month is supported by a variety of CTE groups, hosted by the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders.
