Strategic Paradigm Shifts in CTE: Frameworks for Workforce-Aligned Excellence
Across the country, states and systems are leading a strategic shift in Career and Technical Education (CTE), moving from static, compliance-based programs to responsive, workforce-aligned pathways. This session will explore how education and workforce leaders nationwide leveraged agency and industry relationships, employer input, and accountability reform to design programs that reflect real technical skill needs. Participants will examine tools for engaging business and industry partners, identifying in-demand competencies, and advocating for aligned programs within their systems. The presentation will highlight successful implementation practices, access-focused outcomes, and lessons learned across diverse school systems. Attendees will leave with a replicable framework for using data, partnerships, and policy levers to drive transformational change in CTE and improve career and college outcomes for all learners.
