TWEET OF THE WEEK
A6: Everything I’ve learned in my CTSO is GREAT! I’ve learned how to lead diversely, how to create meaningful connections, public speaking, & SO MUCH MORE! Participating in a CTSO gives us opportunities to do things others don’t do until they are in their careers! #CTSOChat

REPORT OF THE WEEK
Not only is it CTE Month, it’s also School Counselors Week! To better understand the connection between CTE and school counseling, we conducted research and released a report with the American School Counseling Association. The report finds that, across the board, states are not overly confident in the effectiveness of their career advising and development systems. Fifty-eight percent believe they are only somewhat effectively serving K-12 students, and 55 percent believe they are either only somewhat effective or not effective at serving postsecondary CTE students. And while school counselors who connect students with CTE coursework and career pathways find it an effective career advising and development strategy, relatively few are able to make these connections.
