The organization originally began as the Illinois Career and Technical Education Student Services Personnel Association, providing services for Special Population Coordinators, Work based Learning Coordinators, Counselors, Tutors and other personnel who support CTE students around the State of Illinois. Although the position of special population coordinator has changed, students with special needs still exist within our programs. Our mission continues to be the promotion of quality career and technical education for all students. We are an assembly of individuals with diverse professional backgrounds who want to ensure that the unique needs of all populations receive the appropriate training and education to meet the challenges of the workplace. Our goal is to ensure all students are College and Career Ready.
