Career & Technical Education (CTE) Deans By College

The California Community College Chancellor’s Office requires that all requests for new CTE program approvals include a recommendation from the “appropriate CTE Regional Consortium.” For the IEDRC, the recommendation comes from the CTE Deans workgroup. This recommendation ensures program offerings meet regional labor market needs and do not unnecessarily duplicate programs. To request regional recommendation, go to www.regionalcte.org.
