This resource is one part of the Building a Diverse CTE Leadership Pipeline Toolkit suite of resources. 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.
