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.

The strategic and state planning processes will:
• 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 will also assist us in meeting the requirements for developing our State Plan required for compliance with the Strengthening Career and Technical Education in the 21st Century Act (Perkins).
