CTSO
Career and Technical Education (CTE) is helping our nation address key challenges such as workforce development, student achievement, economic vitality and global competitiveness. Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are key components to strong CTE programs. They integrate into CTE programs and courses to extend teaching and learning through innovative programs, business and community partnerships and leadership experiences at the school, state and national levels.
Our CTSOs are comprised of seven different organizations that align with our program offerings.
