Career and Technical Education Month
February is Career and Technical Education Month, a time dedicated to celebrating career and technical education across the state and nation, beginning with National Job Shadow 2010 on February 2 and ending with National Entrepreneurship Week, Feb. 21-27.
The idea behind CTE Month is to spend some time celebrating what career and technical education is, the benefits and opportunities it provides students, and the impact it has on the community. For more on how you can promote CTE Month or to share how you will celebrate, visit www.acteonline.org.
In observance of 2010 CTE Month, DESE will launch a statewide public service announcement campaign. The 30-second spots will be aired on Missouri Broadcaster Association-member stations throughout the month of February. The objective of the campaign is to raise awareness of career and technical education and the importance of educational and career planning.
