2026 CACTE CareerTech Summit

This session features a panel presentation of 6 unique projects in rural, urban and suburban settings across the state that have expanded districts' capacity to deliver on the promise of the Big 3.  Administrators and teachers will benefit from hearing what worked, what didn't, and how districts and colleges can partner to expand access to work-based learning (in rural areas), college credit, and industry recognized credentials.  Each featured project was funded by Innovations in CTE grant funds, but could also be funded using start-up funds or Perkins. Featured programs come from skilled trades (welding, manufacturing), culinary, healthcare, and more.
