The General Advisory Committee (GAC) at NCTA provides direction and guidance to administrators and teachers for the entire Career and Technical Education program offered by the regional Skills Center--NCTA! This information helps drive programming and school input through labor market information, local industry needs.
The Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has a division devoted to Career & Technical Education. They have created a website specific to CTE Advisory Committees. This is a great resource and can be found here: OSPI CTE Advisory
Our programs include pathways in manufacturing, construction, maritime, pre-nursing, animal care/veterinary assisting, dental, culinary and hospitality, programming/coding and automotive. Our GAC is looking now at regional employment data investigating if there are areas that NCTA should be looking towards expanding pathways.
Our GAC meets 3-4 times per year. We would like to expand our advisory to include more members in our community. Please let us know if you're interested and we'll be sure to follow up with individuals!
On behalf of hundreds of juniors and seniors getting ready to launch into the career and continued educational pathways, thank you for your consideration!
