Please join us in Washington, DC for the 10th National Career Clusters™ Institute. The Institute hosts a diverse set of leaders interested in Career Clusters™, Career Technical Education, workforce development, economic development and education reform. Our attendee count averages 700-750 secondary and postsecondary educators, administrators, counselors, teachers and faculty, representatives from state and local governments and the workforce community.

Because of the unique nature of this meeting, the State CTE Directors have also set their Spring Meeting events to run concurrently with the 2012 Institute (for 2012 only) to be a part of this auspicious occasion. Thus, we have created a unique sponsor program that offers several new opportunities to share information about your resources, services, and materials to education stakeholders from across the country.
