Nominations Open For National Career Clusters Framework Industry Advisory Groups

When Advance CTE began the initiative to modernize the National Career Clusters Framework® (the Framework), the Advance CTE Boards of Directors approved the following purpose statement as a north star to guide changes to the Framework: “The National Career Clusters Framework® provides structural alignment and a common language to bridge education and work, empowering each learner to explore, decide and prepare for dynamic and evolving careers.”

 

To better stand up the Framework as a responsive bridge between education and work, the national project team is organizing 15 Industry Advisory Groups (IAGs) to serve as sector-specific representatives. The IAGs will consist of approximately 20-30 industry stakeholders representing a diverse range of attributes including company profile, geography, and racial diversity. The IAGs will meet virtually three times over the next year to help inform and validate potential changes to the Framework, provide key insights into additional stakeholder engagement and champion the future direction of the Framework. We anticipate the overall time commitment to not exceed a cumulative 10 hours.

 

To nominate yourself or someone you feel would be well-qualified for these groups and to view additional information about nomination qualifications, please visit this nomination form. Our national partners Indigo Education and WestEd will select the eventual participants for the IAGs; chosen nominees will be notified in late June, and not every nominee will be selected for participation. 


Nominations and Applications are due Friday, June 9th.

The Valuables Vault will highlight information, tips, and tricks that hold value in agricultural educators' professional and personal lives.


Unlock the Potential of the Month: 

Summer is almost here! It’s time to begin scheduling those summer SAE visits. Actively involve your students by scheduling with them via Doodle Poll or Sign-Up genius to find a time that works for them, their families, and yourself. Using a sign-up method will ensure that you are able to make the visits, allot the needed time for each one, and set clear expectations for each visit. Make sure to utilize AET’s SAE visit worksheet and log each visit into your AET account. 

 

Combination to Happiness

Have you ever given yourself a “Yes” day? You know how our students are always asking if they can have a “free” day? Schedule a “Free” day for yourself this month and say “Yes” to all your wants. Do you want to take a nap? Do it. Do you want to have a movie marathon and not move from the couch? Do it. Give yourself a guilt free day and say Yes to yourself.
