Advocacy Tools
For quality CTE, the pathway to the future begins today. Imagine an education and workforce system that rewards innovation, works together to support different learning styles, values student interests and talents, nimbly adapts and responds to changing technology and workforce needs—and prepares young and adult students alike for success in college and career.
That’s the vision for CTE. Achieving it will require bold leadership and advocacy from every sector—public and private. The following tools have been developed to support that effort and can be adapted for different audiences and situations. And as new issues and opportunities arise, new tools will be developed and made available here to address them.
