As states chart a vision and path for the future of Career and Technical Education (CTE), researchers can help answer questions that provide critical insights into the impact of CTE programs, policies, and practices. This second installment in a new series highlights the benefits of partnerships between State CTE Directors and researchers.

Learn how research partnerships can be a powerful tool to help State Career and Technical Education (CTE) Directors understand what’s working, what isn’t working, and what needs to change in this first installment in a new blog series designed to break down barriers and promote collaboration between State CTE Directors and researchers.
