Recently, ACTE released an updated “STEM is CTE” fact sheet to describe how CTE is developing students’ science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills and preparing students to enter the STEM workforce.
CTE programs across the 16 Career Clusters® enable students to master STEM skills, such as computational thinking, that are increasingly required for both STEM jobs and for jobs not classified as STEM. CTE students also earn STEM industry credentials most requested in job as well as educational credentials that allow them to pursue high-wage STEM careers in areas like data science, cybersecurity and data center operations.
We encourage ACTE members and CTE advocates to share this resource with students and families, education and workforce leaders, and policymakers to improve the public’s understanding of the connection between and the benefits of STEM and CTE.
