Exhibitor Workshop: Career-First: Moving Beyond College-For-All
Friday, 12/2 at from 11am-12pm PST - ⏰ 🗓️ add to your calendar
Expo Hall, North Hall 2 in the Las Vegas Convention Center
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”—simple enough to ask, but how do you guide students to make choices based on their answers? Most districts aspire to connect academic planning and course selection to students' career interests but struggle to put into practice.
Learn how districts are increasing CTE enrollments, leveraging career "test-drives" to give kids a low-stakes taste of career pathways, and building career exploration into each grade level. Discover strategies for creating a district-wide network of champions using the teacher advisory model to create alignment between CTE and counseling departments.

On Friday, 12/2 from 10am-4pm, we’re sponsoring the joint hospitality room for four of the ACTE Divisions (Career Counseling, New & Related Services, Work-Based Learning, and Administrators).
