CTE's Role in Leadership Development. Issue Brief
Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE)
This Issue Brief will explore the integral role that career and technical education (CTE) curricula and programs can play in addressing the leadership skills gap facing employers. CTE fosters future leaders by providing leadership training in class and through related activities, by placing students in workplace contexts where they can receive mentorship and observe leadership in action, and by empowering students with authentic leadership roles. [This Issue Brief was produced with support from the U.S. Army Marketing and Research Group.]
