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.

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.
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) held a logo and public serve announcement contest to mark CTE Month. ACTE's official 2011 CTE Month logo, seen here, was created by Ian Jones from Willingboro, NJ.
The 2011 CTE Month Video PSA Contest winners were Joe Sandoval and Jacen Sievers from Phoenix, AZ.

In observance of 2011 CTE Month, DESE will again conduct a statewide public service announcement campaign (see below). The 15- and 30-second spots will air on Missouri Broadcaster Association-member stations throughout the month of February. The objective of the campaign was to raise awareness of career and technical education and the importance of educational and career planning.
