Survey to Support CTE Opportunities

Objective: The goal of this survey is to assess the tools currently available for counselors in guiding students toward Career Technical Education (CTE) and Skilled Trades pathways. We aim to identify what resources are most effective and what additional support would be most beneficial in helping students explore and navigate CTE/ST opportunities.

Your insights will help us better understand how to enhance the resources available to counselors, ensuring students receive the best possible guidance in pursuing careers in skilled trades and technical fields.
