What to Expect

 

Advance CTE – in partnership with the Association for Career and Technical Education, American Association of Community Colleges and the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity – are hosting a second round of in-person meetings to support state leaders in the development and refinement of their state plans under the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V).  These meetings are made possible thanks to the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Joyce Foundation.

Participants will:

  • Collaborate with peers from other states to share ideas and solutions on major strategies within their Perkins V state plans, with a focus on quality, equity, data, systems alignment and career advisement;
  • Work with their state team to review and strengthen their Perkins V plans based on input from national experts, peers and in-state stakeholder engagement; and
  • Leave with clear next steps for strengthening their Perkins V state plans to advance a statewide vision for CTE that is innovative, bold and prioritizes quality and equity.
The following states are invited to attend the October meeting: Alabama, California, District of Columbia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin
