leads in global competitiveness.

• CTE actively partners with employers to design

and provide high-quality, dynamic programs.

• CTE prepares students to succeed in further

education and careers.

• CTE is delivered through comprehensive

programs of study aligned to The National

Career Clusters Framework.

• CTE is a results-driven system that

demonstrates

a positive return on investment.

The Challenge of theCTE Brand Experience

• Inconsistent quality and rigor = Inconsistent brand experience

• CTE is evolving at different rates in different places

• CTE is moving toward a common goal

• Lack of uniformity cannot be overcome with a brand messaging initiative

• The name itself is a challenge

• Influencers remember the way CTE was—instead of what CTE has become
