CTE-10 Workforce Initiative

CESA 10, in collaboration with post-secondary, economic development and workforce partners, is committed to attracting and retaining high-quality teachers in Career and Technical Education (CTE) fields to ensure students in our communities learn critical workplace skills. 

During the past fifteen years, there has been a significant decline in the number of individuals pursuing CTE teaching licenses in the state. We are currently at a critical shortage of qualified CTE teachers, which directly impacts business and industry. Without quality CTE programming, students are not provided opportunities to explore hands-on career courses. CTE is a scholarship program to offset the cost of post-secondary training for future CTE teachers in the region.
