Today, young people are entering a workforce that is more global than ever before. Career and technical education (CTE or vocational education) educators face a critical new imperative: to prepare all students for work and civic roles in a world where success increasingly requires the ability to compete, connect, and cooperate on an international scale.
Rapid economic, technological, and social changes are creating a world that is ever more interconnected. To take advantage of global market opportunities and prepare for the future, companies must hire workers with global competence—that is, the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance.
Digital Promise has partnered with organizations, such as the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and Advance CTE, and experts to develop professional development courses and resources to assist CTE educators with incorporating global skills into their courses.
