What is CTEAC?
The Career and Technical Education Advisory Committee (CTEAC) is made up of representatives in our local school division, post-secondary college partners, business and workforce partners, representatives of special populations, parents, and students. The purpose of the advisory board is to provide assistance, feedback, and approval of the operations, initiatives, and direction for all of our CTE programs in Chesapeake Public Schools.
What does CTEAC do?
CTEAC meets quarterly. The committee supports educators, students and businesses in developing, establishing and evaluating CTE programs to ensure students are well prepared for the world of work.
Who can join CTEAC?
CTEAC is a group of individuals representing business and industry; labor organization; Workforce Investment Council; agencies serving out-of-school, homeless, and/or at-risk youth; special populations; local community colleges; teachers; parents; students; and other interested community leaders for the purpose of providing recommendations, direction, and assistance to CTE. Other persons may be invited to participate at the discretion of the eligible recipient. Ex-officio members should include the CTE administrator.
