September is Workforce Development Month - a perfect opportunity to celebrate CTE as a hallmark of workforce development and critical component of training future workforces. Work-based learning, IBCs, and CTSOs all support students with skills development and career prep!

October is Disabilities Employment Awareness Month! By opening doors to training, apprenticeships, internships and other work-based learning opportunities, we support individuals with disabilities develop competitive, marketable, and transferable skills to increase employability.

CTE Month is just around the corner! Start planning how you will celebrate 🌟 and promote 📣 your CTE programs and student organizations! Lunchtime showcases, CTSO visibility, and social media takeovers are great ways to show off the incredible accomplishments at your campus! ✨

Why CTE is important - The construction industry employs > 8 million people and needs an additional 500K workers each year. An aging workforce is also retiring - every 4 people who leave construction, only 1 new person enters, AND those in the field require more technical skills!

February is CTE Month! Texas aerospace, manufacturing, life sciences, and other advanced technology industries are growing, and they will need workers with strong technical and soft skills to fill jobs. Our CTE programs develop students to pursue high-skill technical careers!
