CTE Advisory Committee

Definition and Mission

An advisory committee is a group of qualified, interested people invited by the school district staff to advise and assist the Career and Technical Education instructors in planning and implementing relevant programs and meet the needs of students preparing to enter the world-of- work or post-secondary education.

The large-group advisory committee provides direction for the entire Career and Technical Education program including developing long- range goals and plans and recommends overall workforce development program design. As needed, the program sub-committees serve a cluster of related occupational areas by CTE program area (Agriculture and Natural Resources, Business and Information Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, and Technology and Engineering) to offer specific advice on the needs of businesses and industries served by the program and ensures the curriculum stays current.

The CTE Advisory Committee’s mission is "to use community resources to create opportunities and information for the improvement of lifelong learning and economic self-sufficiency of all individuals in Central Wisconsin." Each member will serve three years and terms will be staggered. Three regular meetings will be held annually with additional meetings determined by the program of work. The following groups are represented on the 60+ member committee: employers, employees, civic organizations, parents, former and current students, post-secondary educators, school counselors, K-12 faculty, and administration.
