A MESSAGE FROM CCCAOE PRESIDENT, Robert Cabral

It’s an honor and pleasure to serve you as this year’s president of CCCAOE. Our organization has come a long way in its 55-year history. We have seen a lot of changes and nothing as rapid as the change over the last 3 years. The pandemic launched us into the virtual world, we now operate under new realities and continue to make CCCAOE a vital resource for you in Career Education.

I will lead the work of our board supporting advocacy, professional development, and equity. These areas will guide the work we will engage in. This is our value proposition. We are Career Education - Each of us is a leader and represents a voice for career education and we all have a responsibility to shape our communities. Our stories are important, collectively they shape the work we all do and influence academic and career pathways for our students that are meaningful and support the workforce. CCCAOE allows all of us to engage in informative change and dialogue in evolving career education, workplace learning, and employer engagement. We do this in support of providing the best outcomes for students.

We all have an important role in career education. The work we do makes generational changes for students. We support economic and social mobility and remove polarization. This work matters.

Robert

Here is an exciting opportunity for your campus!

Get ready for the 2023 National CTE Signing Day on April 20th!

National CTE Signing Day, which began in 2014 at Washburn University Institute of Technology, is a celebration of technical education. Just as we value athletes who commit to play a college sport, the signing day ceremony is designed to honor students who are entering a technical field and emphasize the importance of their career choice.

By signing new recruits, we are telling them that a place has been reserved for them and that they are valued. Technical education will prepare them for a strong career, build families, sustain communities, and grow a highly-skilled workforce.

As educators, it is incredibly rewarding to watch the smiles of incoming students, the hugs they receive from family, and the interactions they have with business and industry leaders. Committing to a technical career is a big deal. Together, we can spread that message. The time is now. Join the movement!

What is National CTE Signing Day? Watch the video below to learn more.

To support you with the launch of 2023 National Signing Day, NC3 will be hosting virtual planning meetings via Zoom approximately every four weeks leading up to the event to work side-by-side with you and your institution, so you can create a customizable event that will fit the needs of your students, your local partners, and your instructors. During our planning meetings, we will provide event checklists, templates, promotional press releases, graphics, videos, and so much more!
