#CTEisFutureReady

Meeting Purpose

The purpose of the CTE Industry Partners Advisory Meeting is to ask participants to assist in analyzing our current CTE program. Participants will determine this by:

​

• Reviewing data with regards to the performance of SMUSD CTE students, including special populations, as well as collected self-evaluative programmatic data

• Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of SMUSD’s CTE program by career pathway, school site, and district overall

• Proposing strategies on how to sustain and scale those strengths and shore up weaknesses

What is CTE?

Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners.

• In total, about 12.5 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation.
• The high school graduation rate for CTE students is about 90% – 15 percentage points higher than the national average!
• Standards for Career Ready Practice, describe the fundamental knowledge and skills to help in transitioning to postsecondary education, career training, or the workforce. These standards span all CTE pathways.
