Effective Advising for Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs will help prepare
counselors for their crucial roles in supporting students’ postsecondary success.
Participants will identify potential barriers that limit access to CTE programs and
review advising strategies and resources to ensure accessible and equitable CTE
programs. Participants will review the Perkins V definitions for special populations
and explore success outcomes from strong CTE programs, such as college and career
readiness, employability skills, and mental health wellness. At the end of this module,
participants will recognize potential barriers to accessible and equitable CTE programs
and devise plans to eliminate existing barriers.

This session is part of a TEA-developed series of CTE Professional Development.
