CTE Works, Presented by NYSUT

Students from across New York State are gathering at the Empire State Plaza to showcase their career and technical education (CTE) skills in action, thanks to an initiative hosted by NYSUT. These innovative programs bridge a critical gap - offering students hands-on experience in high-demand professional fields while addressing severe workforce shortages in New York's essential industries.

At this demonstration, state lawmakers and the public will witness firsthand how CTE programs prepare the next generation of skilled workers. Students will highlight their real-world training in fields that offer both exciting career opportunities and competitive salaries. Through these presentations, educators and students aim to demonstrate CTE programs' vital role in strengthening New York's workforce and economy.
