  1. Skills gaps are emerging in today's economy, and a solution that’s proven to make a difference in helping the economy thrive is investing in career and technical education (CTE). CTE programs, whether at the secondary, post-secondary or other educational level, boost student achievement and deliver increased career and earning potential. CTE also produces workers for the open jobs of today, and boosts business productivity and economic status as a result. Whether it's sewing or shop class, or another one of the many varied CTE career paths, it all makes a significant difference to students, communities and the economy. That's why it's great to see this kind of effort taking place.

    The Industry Workforce Needs Council is a new organization of businesses working together to spotlight skills gaps and advocate/kick off CTE programs that work to curb the problem. For more information, or to join the effort, visit the IWNC website.

CTE also produces workers for the open jobs of today, and boosts business productivity and economic status as a result. These programs are extra successful when employers participate in their development and execution.

  4. Career and technical education (CTE) takes a lot of forms - these examples are among them. CTE has proven over time to deliver a return on investment: it boosts student achievement, raises career prospects/earning potential and also yields trained workers for the jobs of today - which curbs the emerging skills gaps in the economy. It's great to see these efforts, and hopefully they can continue to gain traction.
