This session is the second in Advance CTE’s Lunch & Learn series focused on exploring each of the principles from Without Limits: A Shared Vision for the Future of Career Technical Education. Attendees were introduced to the second principle of the vision, “each learner feels welcome in, is supported by, and has the means to succeed in the career preparation ecosystem.” Vision partners and supporters shared the ways that their organizations are identifying and dismantling the institutional and systemic barriers that limit access, opportunity and outcomes for some learners. Attendees left this session with an increased awareness of the aspirations of this principle and strategies to apply it to their own work.
