Career & Technical Student Organizations
Career & Technical Student Organizations
All students in career and technical programs have an opportunity to develop and extend their learning through participation in active career and technical student organizations (CTSOs). The program of work for each organization should be based on instructional competencies and be an integral part of the program.
Any student enrolled in a career and technical course is eligible for membership in the career and technical student organization associated with that program.
CTSOs develop character, citizenship, technical, leadership, and teamwork skills essential for students who are preparing for the workforce and further education. They enhance students' civic awareness and provide opportunities for developing social competencies and a wholesome attitude about living and working.

Involvement in FCCLA offers members the opportunity to expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life -- planning, goal setting, problem-solving, decision making, and interpersonal communication -- all necessary in the home and workplace."
