Today ACTE has released CTE: Developing the Health Care Workforce, the fourth in our revamped series of Sector Sheets describing CTE’s role in growing the workforce for vital industry sectors. The Sector Sheet series is published with support from ACTE’s long-time partner Pearson.
These revised Sector Sheets include job opportunities and descriptions of how CTE prepares learners for the workforce in each sector, all in a new format featuring streamlined text and additional graphics to make these advocacy tools even more effective.
This Sector Sheet describes how CTE supports the health care workforce, which employs more than 17 million people nationwide and requires approximately 1.9 million individuals each year to meet demand. It also shares information on occupations, earnings and credentials that give readers guidance for how to enter and progress within fields such as allied health, nursing and behavioral health. Finally, the Health Care Sector Sheet demonstrates the importance of CTE in developing this workforce by describing how CTE prepares learners through courses, industry credentials, work-based learning, career and technical student organizations and more.
As we move forward with these revamped Sector Sheets, both the newer and older Sector Sheets will be available on the ACTE Sector Sheet webpage for download and use. We encourage you to share these tools with students, counselors, policymakers and others to spread the message about CTE and its benefits for students and the workforce.
