The Building a Diverse Leadership Pipeline: Elevating Knowledge briefs feature original research and present policy recommendations to highlight timely CTE research topics pursued by select alumni of the inaugural cohort of The Postsecondary State Career Technical Education Leaders Fellowship at Advance CTE – Sponsored by ECMC Foundation.  By positioning the findings as potential action steps for state CTE leaders and the field at large we aspire to elevate a new — and more demographically diverse — generation of CTE leaders.

These briefs are part of the larger Building a Diverse Leadership Pipeline series that aims to increase leadership stability and achieve more demographically representative state CTE leadership, by providing resources, tools and examples to help state leaders establish a robust, diverse talent pipeline for aspiring CTE leaders.
