“Creating Partnerships through Meaningful Collaboration”
 The North Carolina Association of Career and Technical Education Administrators have established a statewide network of North Carolina business and industry representatives in support of Career and Technical Education. The association desires to strengthen the connection between education and the workplace helping us meet our Career and Technical Education Mission of empowering all students to be successful citizens, workers and leaders in a global economy.
The purpose of the North Carolina Career and Technical Education Business Network is to:
· Create and maintain a business-education advocacy group that addresses Career and Technical Education issues on a regular basis, and;
· Establish a permanent liaison between business and education that provides for structured continuous communications at multiple levels for Career and Technical Education
To provide input, receive periodic pertinent information pertaining to CTE and receive future invitations to participate in activities such as curriculum input, CTSO judging, credential identification, etc. please go to the Toolbox section on the menu on the left and Join the Business Network now!

A survey was developed to seek your input of the newly created "A Crisis of Relevance" report developed by Governor Bev Perdue's non-standing State Superintendent's Career-Ready Commission. The Commission, led by Dr. June Atkinson, State Superintendent, addressed five questions as it pertains to the alignment of education and business/industry needs. In studying these questions over the last 10 months, Commission members identified an overarching crisis affecting NC public schools. Too many students are failing to make connections between what they learn in school and their goals for the future. These students are not engaged in or inspired by what they are learning and have no clear plan for the future. Some drop out. Others graduate unprepared for college or other training and are unqualified for most of the jobs available today. This is the "Crisis of Relevance."
The survey outlined the six recommended policy goals and corresponding action recommendations found within the report and asked respondents to prioritize the importance of the statement as Low Priority, Medium Priority or High Priority. The results of the survey were presented at our Fall Conference on October 20th. To download a copy of the results in Excel format, please see 2010 Crisis of Relevance Survey Results under the Reports section.  The North Carolina Association of Career and Technical Education Administrators' and it's Career and Technical Education programs do not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, disability, or age in its activities and progams. |
