We, leaders and advocates of and partners with career technical education (CTE), commit to a vision that will guide the future of education for all students. Our goal is to advance CTE as an innovative education system that prepares individuals to succeed in education and their career so that the United States flourishes in the dynamic, global economy. We will work together to transform our education and workforce system into one that rewards innovation, supports different learning styles, equally values different interests and talents, adapts and responds to technology and workplace needs, and prepares all students for career success through multiple pathways. This is our vision for the future of CTE. With our signatures, we pledge our support to this vision and commit to provide the leadership necessary to ensure its success. (Folkers, 2011, p. 27)
