Program Goals

The main goal of the Fellowship Program is to assist you in developing your teamwork, leadership and advocacy skills while also demonstrating how to most effectively apply those skills to benefit CTE through ACTEAZ, affiliate associations and legislative channels. You will also be able to take these skills back to your school district in order to affect positive changes in your CTE programs and your own professional career.
