Global Competence Through CTE: Workforce Readiness Skills for a Global Economy

In order to graduate prepared for success and employment in a global economy, career and technical education students must have the workforce readiness skills that will enable them to work on international teams and with people from diverse backgrounds. This workshop or learning series will help educators understand global workforce readiness skills, how they link to career pathways, and how to integrating global content into what is already being taught in CTE classrooms.

Community college faculty will work to add global content into their syllabi. Secondary educators will create a high-quality project for one of their courses.   This workshop can be customized to meet the specific needs of CTE programs and educators and is available in multiple formats as a half-day, one-day, or two-day session. This could also be offered in a virtual format for a learning cohort as shorter sessions spread out over a month or a semester.
