Training
Summer 2026 Research Training Institute
June 22-26, 2026
Virtual
The CTE Research Network 2.0 will host an intensive, week-long training institute designed to prepare the next generation of CTE researchers. The training will build the capacity of researchers to plan and conduct high-quality studies of CTE programs, practices, and policies. Participants will learn from experienced CTE researchers and experts in research methodology.
Applications for the 2026 Training Institute were due March 26, 2026.
Network 1.0 Resources
A number of training resources for practitioners and researchers were developed under the CTE Research Network 1.0. Follow the links below to access these resources.
