It makes best sense, as a CTE (Career Tech Ed) teacher myself, to look toward the 11 Elements of a High Quality CTE program template for standards and areas of focus regarding workforce readiness.  CTE is expressly focused on this area of learning, as well as promoting 21st Century skills.  View the entire template by clicking on the image above.
