Career & Technical Education (CTE) Committee - Governor's Workforce Development Board (GWDB)
About:
The CTE Committee was established under the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, Md. Code, Educ. § 21-209, as a unit within the Governor’s Workforce Development Board. The Blueprint is a landmark education law that passed in 2021 to transform Maryland’s education and ensure students graduate with the skills to be successful in postsecondary education, work, and life. The GWDB CTE Committee was established in 2022 and is composed of 11 members of the GWDB, as required in statute. The GWDB CTE Committee is committed to fundamentally reimagining and redesigning career-connected learning and career pathways to ensure all of Maryland’s students have real access to fulfilling and family-sustaining careers.
The committee is aligned with Pillar III of Maryland’s 2024-2028 State Workforce Development Plan: Prepare the Future Workforce - Transform and expand career-connected learning opportunities to ensure every young person has access to a family-sustaining career pathway, regardless of their plans to obtain a college degree.
Mission:
Build an integrated, globally leading framework for providing CTE to Maryland students in public schools, institutions of postsecondary education, and the workforce.
