For Employers:
Employer voice is critical to ensuring our programs are equipping students with the skills and credentials needed to join the Commonwealth’s skilled and ready workforce upon graduation. We have two ways for employers to lend their voice to the Frameworks as we update them:
- Complete a 15-minute survey. (Survey links are embedded in the calendar below by program area.)
- Attend a virtual Employer Summit in the program area. Employer Summits are dynamic conversations with those who register to attend. However, if registrations are limited, Summits are subject to cancellation. (Summit dates and times are reflected in the calendar below. Click on the appropriate date, and you’ll be able to register.)
Your time and input is greatly appreciated!
For Educators:
We are very grateful for the partnership of educators in building strong Career Technical Education programs for the Commonwealth!
Educator Summits will take place after Employer Summits in order to share information directly from the Labor Market and employers in the Commonwealth. Times and Dates are Subject to Change. To register, please click on the appropriate date and fill out the registration form.
The calendars below includes dates and registration links for all employer summits and educator summits for each framework. These are critical opportunities to provide input into the Framework revision process.
About Employer Summits. For each program area, we’ll host an employer summit for industry representatives who can give us on-the-ground insight into the skills and credentials our graduates need for successful employment. During each summit, we will share information from the Massachusetts Labor Market and an overview of findings from an industry-specific employer survey, as well as gather deeper insights from them about preferred credentials and skills. Employer summits may be attended by any employer partners including cooperative education partners, PAC members, etc.
About Educator Summits. Following each employer summit, we’ll share the insights from employers, discuss industry credentials, and industry skills with our educators in those program areas at a summit specifically for Educators. We look forward to collecting your insight and feedback. Educator Summits may be attended by CTE program teachers, academic teachers, professional support personnel, etc.
Career-Connected Learning Hub and CTE Framework Update
The 2024 calendar on the Career-Connected Learning Hub > Frameworks now includes dates and registration links for Role-Alike Meetings.
About Role-Alike Meetings. These meetings are an opportunity for educators from across the state to meet with colleagues teaching within the same career clusters and program areas. The majority of the meetings are scheduled by cluster, and there will be opportunities to break out by programs. The meetings are intended to discuss framework implementation, learn of practices and resources of colleagues in the field, and provide opportunities for feedback to inform continuous improvement of state provided resources. Role-Alike Meetings will be hosted by the CCTE and may be attended by CTE program teachers, academic teachers, professional support personnel, etc.
Get the word out and register now! Please spread the word about each summit. We encourage you to register now using the links below.
