About This Lesson
Part of the 2019 AFT TEACH Conference.
You will learn about the changes in career and technical education programs that provide students with 21st-century skills along with technical skills and academics. Today’s CTE programming is a successful approach to getting students to graduate with the skills needed for college and career. Both CTE and apprenticeships offer alternate pathways to prepare students for well-paying, high-demand jobs. The AFT has partnered with North America's Building Trades to connect our teachers and students to apprenticeship opportunities as well as an award-winning pre-apprenticeship curriculum that is available for free to public schools.
Presenters: Mal Caravatti, associate director, American Federation of Teachers; Thomas J. Kriger, director of research, North America’s Building Trades Unions; Art Lujan, special assistant to the president, North America’s Building Trades Unions
