Career & Technical Education

 
Dear CTE teachers, coordinators, and administrators,

CTE Month logoLocal, state, and national news stories have put career and technical education (CTE) in the spotlight. Now it’s your turn. This February, make the most of CTE Month by building awareness of how schools prepare students for life after high school—think: Academic and Career Planning, career-connected learning, career pathways, dual credit, industry-recognized credentials, and more. Check out our CTE Month Toolkit to get ideas on how to spread the word in your area.

Here at DPI, CTE Month offers an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the many people who play a part in preparing students for life after high school. Done right, CTE and career readiness is a “team sport.” It involves students, teachers, coordinators, administrators, parents, employers, and community members—basically everyone. And so this CTE Month, as we have done the last two years, we say thank you to all who are doing the day-in-day-out work to make sure all students are career ready.

Help us recognize the many people working toward this goal by completing a “Share a Shout-Out” form for the CTE teacher, coordinator, administrator, employer, or community member who deserves a pat on the back, a “Thanks!,” or a “Good job!” (limit: 75 words). We will publish entries received by February 7, 2025, in the February issue of the CTE Newsroom, and may post some through the DPI X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook feeds.

Time to toot your horn. Have a happy CTE Month!

Your Wisconsin CTE Team
