Vision for Oklahoma Career and Technical Education (CTE)

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is essential to Oklahoma’s workforce and economic success because it provides students with the skills and opportunities needed to thrive. CTE opens doors for students that otherwise would not be available. If elected as president-elect, I will work to promote and grow the following goals for OkACTE:

• End the Stigma of CTE – Highlight that CTE leads to high-quality, well-paying careers that are just as valuable as those requiring a college degree.

• Expand Access – Increase opportunities, especially in rural areas, to connect students with innovative technology and career pathways.

• Continue to strengthen CTE Programs – Ensure high-quality, industry-aligned training that prepares students for in-demand careers.

• Invest in the Future – Advocate for continued investment in CTE to empower students, support communities, and drive economic prosperity.
