A new 'learning tool'

“We wanted to offer our members and the public a new way of learning about ACTE and issues affecting
career and technical education. Podcasting is a key piece in providing an effective grassroots movement and getting CTE-related news and information into the ears of students, educators, policymakers and the general public. This is an exciting new venture that will allow our members to take our information on-the-go and share it with their students and community.”
