The Full Spectrum of Community Support
Pawlowski, Brett; Meeder, Hans K.
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J3), v87 n2 p24-27 Feb 2012
Career and technical education (CTE) programs generally attract a deeper level of involvement with the business community, given their shared interest in workforce preparedness. There are significant opportunities to increase the depth and scope of business and community engagement, which can lead to more resources, better operations and improved outcomes for students. And the first step is to understand what's possible by considering the full spectrum of community support. Getting the community behind a CTE program is vital to keeping it alive; but support isn't just about money, it's about a full spectrum of opportunities that add up to expenditure savings, and resources and human capital upon which one can depend.
