High-Quality CTE: Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs)

Career and technical student organizations (CTSOs) are an integral part of a student's instructional program and CTE experience. They provide opportunities for skill and leadership development and career exploration. For this reason, CTSOs are one of ACTE's 12 elements of high-quality CTE within the ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework®.

This element includes eight criteria addressing how CTSOs fit within CTE programs, their alignment to relevant standards, opportunities offered by CTSOs, and the CTSO advisor role. This course will describe successes to emulate, failures to avoid, and resources to help practitioners implement and support CTSOs.
