Building a Diverse CTE Leadership Pipeline Toolkit
Learners and aspiring leaders need role models and mentors who look like them and share similar experiences to ensure they have the supports to thrive. This representation is so vital, that the second principle of Without Limits: A Shared Vision for the Future of CTE calls upon “(s)tates and institutions …. to commit to buildingrecruitment strategies and talent pipeline programs that attract diverse CTE instructors, administrators and leaders who are demographically representative of the learners they teach.”
The Building a Diverse CTE Leadership Pipeline Toolkit aims to help states and institutions increase leadership stability and achieve more demographically representative state CTE leadership, by providing resources, tools and use case examples from the Postsecondary State Career Technical Education Leaders Fellowship at Advance CTE —Sponsored by ECMC Foundation. The toolkit is designed to help states and institutions establish or enhance a talent pipeline and provide training, mentorship and opportunities for aspiring CTE leaders who are demographically representative of the learners they serve.
