PACTEC and PCC Perkins Programs recognize a significant gap in collaborative opportunities post-COVID, these symposiums were launched to fully restore in-person program connection and communication. Both secondary and post-secondary Perkins CTE programs must look to continuous improvement in the 5 program element areas: standards and content, alignment and articulation, accountability and evaluation, student support services, and professional development.  Through our continuous work on these elements and by collaborating together, our partnership between our Perkins secondary CTE programs and post-secondary CTE programs must continue to grow and strengthen for our students.
