2026 Regional CTE Advisory Board Meeting

Date(s) TBD

The Regional CTE Advisory Board Meeting is an event that brings industry and educational partners together with our local career and technical education instructors from around Macomb County to discuss what is being taught in the high school CTE courses.  We truly value the input from our partners and need your support as we continually improve our programs.

A program advisory committee provides input on the following:

  • Business and industry processes, equipment, and replication of work environments

  • Input on the process to plan and implement relevant CTE programs

  • Workforce needs for employers

  • Worker knowledge and skill needs

  • Recruitment of additional business and industry partners

  • A plan for safety training in the classroom and in work-based learning (WBL) settings

Career & Technical Education Advisory Boards

CTE Program advisory boards are a required component of state-approved CTE programs under the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act of 2018, commonly referred to as Perkins V. Expertise of individuals from related business and industry play an essential role in providing high-quality CTE programs, in addition to fostering the development of a trained and educated workforce. The primary purpose of a program advisory board is to serve as a resource and a connection to the workplace for CTE teachers, administrators, and students. The CTE program advisory board guides the local education agency (LEA) with planning, development, implementation, operation, promotion, evaluation, and maintenance of the CTE program that result in continuous program improvement.
