Across the country, districts are reimagining Career and Technical Education (CTE) as a launchpad for student success in today’s rapidly evolving workforce. With 70% of jobs projected to require postsecondary education or training by 2035, and with industries like healthcare, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, and AI-driven fields experiencing explosive growth, schools must adapt.
This FETC webinar brings together CTE leaders from across the nation to share their strategies for building robust CTE centers, designing career pathways and apprenticeship programs, as well as aligning curriculum and training programs to modern workforce needs. Attendees will hear firsthand how districts are preparing students with durable skills—critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and adaptability—while also providing industry-recognized credentials and hands-on experiences.
District and school leaders will leave with actionable insights to strengthen their own CTE initiatives, ensuring that students graduate ready to thrive in a dynamic, technology-rich economy.
