Next week, the U.S. Senate Career and Technical Education Caucus will host a briefing titled, “CTE: Past, Present and Future.” The briefing coincides with CTE Month® and marks 100 years since President Woodrow Wilson signed the Smith-Hughes Act into law in 1917. The Smith-Hughes Act was the first major federal investment in secondary CTE.
The briefing will begin with a short recap of the history of federal involvement in CTE, followed by a panel that will discuss how CTE has evolved over the past century, the ways in which it is preparing America’s future workforce and what the future of CTE looks like. Panelists will also discuss how federal policy can further support CTE.
The panel will be moderated by ACTE Deputy Executive Director Stephen DeWitt, and panelists include:
- Kimberly Green, Executive Director of Advance CTE: State Leaders Connecting Learning to Work
- Kris Martini, Director of the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education for Arlington County Public Schools
- Kathy Oliver, Former Assistant State Superintendent for Career Technology and Adult Learning at the Maryland State Department of Education
- Jessica Strait, State President of the Virginia Technology Student Association and junior at Abingdon High School
The briefing will take place on Tuesday, February 14 from 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. in the HELP Committee room, located in room 430 in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The briefing will also be live-streamed. To attend in-person, please RSVP to [email protected]. RSVPs are not required to watch the livestream.
