Vision of Colorado Career and Technical Education
Colorado Career & Technical Education (CTE) leverages workforce and education systems so that each learner has quality CTE experiences leading to lifelong career success.
Mission of Colorado Career and Technical Education
CTE ensures a thriving Colorado economy by providing relevant and rigorous education that is connected, responsive and real.
Colorado Strategic CTE Visioning Process
Colorado CTE recently developed a state strategic vision and plan for career and technical education that considers our unique landscape and opportunities over the next five years. The plan will help us ensure we are providing learners access to quality CTE programs that are aligned to industry demand and lead to high wage, high skill, in-demand employment. As part of that process, we have been hosting opportunities for public and stakeholder feedback around the state on a variety of topics. For more information, please visit our CTE Vision page.
