A project of the Association for Career and Technical Education, the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity, the National Association of State Directors of Career and Technical Education and the National Women's Law Center.
The purpose of this project is to identify local or state educational agencies across the country that have implemented effective programs and practices for improving access and success of students pursuing careers nontraditional for their gender. The project will solicit input from the career and technical education community to identify programs and practices that meet the selection criteria. Information on these effective programs and practices will be shared with the field through a variety of media in an attempt to provide states and local education agencies with ideas for development of their own programs and practices to successfully prepare students for nontraditional careers.
How to Apply:
This fall, we will again invite applications from programs and schools across the country that have implemented programs and practices "that work." To be eligible, the local or state educational agency submitting the program must show 1) increased enrollment of students of the underrepresented gender in CTE programs that are non-traditional for that gender and/or 2) increased completion levels of nontraditional CTE programs for students of the underrepresented gender.
