CTE in Alaska High Schools - a Snapshot

2/24/2017

 
The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development's CTE Team recently released an updated infographic showing various aspects of CTE students in Alaska high schools in the 2015-2016 school year and with some four-year trends. The summary shows, among other things, that about a third of Alaska's students took at least one CTE class while in high school and that CTE concentrators have a 94% graduation rate and are 21% more likely to graduate than non-CTE concentrators.  For a PDF of the infographic and table shown below, visit this link.

Thirty-one U.S. Senators co-sponsored a resolution in support of Career and Technical Education. The resolution states that the Senate has designated February 2017 as CTE Month, and it honors the 100th anniversary of the Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Act of 1917.

The resolution speaks to CTE as a workforce development strategy that includes training in employability skills along with the academic and technical knowledge and skills that are required for well-paying careers in high-demand occupations. It also encourages counselors and other educators to promote CTE as an option for students.
