CTE Vision – What it’s all about
Colorado Career & Technical Education (CTE) has recently developed a Strategic Plan for CTE that considers our unique landscape and opportunities over the next five years. The plan will help ensure we provide learners access to quality CTE programs that align with industry demand and lead to high wage, high demand, and high skilled employment. The plan will also identify barriers and opportunities in our current systems.
- Engage a wide variety of internal and external stakeholder groups;
- Help build consensus toward the vision for CTE; and
- Identify goals, priorities, and performance measures for tracking progress toward the goals
The strategic planning process also assisted us in meeting the requirements for developing our State Plan as required for the compliance with the Strengthing Career and Technical Education in the 21st Century Act (Perkins).
Perkins V State Plan
This plan was developed based on the statewide CTE Strategic Plan with input from broad stakeholder groups across Colorado and in consultation with other state agency partners, including the Workforce Development Council, Department of Higher Education, Department of Education, Department of Labor and Office of Economic Development and International Trade.
Perkins funding represents less than 10% of the total Colorado investment in Career and Technical Education programs, but is an important supplemental source of funding that the education system uses to help prepare learners for the jobs of today and tomorrow to support our workforce needs in Colorado and build stronger communities. Thank you for your feedback on our state plan!
