Per California Education Code, Part 54.5, section 88821, the CTE Leadership Committee provides recommendations on career and technical education and workforce development issues and challenges in California community colleges. The committee works collaboratively with the ASCCC Executive Committee to provide assistance to community college districts, CTE departments, and CTE faculty in creating and maintaining responsive and system-wide portable curriculum courses, programs, and degrees aligned to current and emergent industry trends, guided pathways, and to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of career education. The committee is also focused on diversity by expanding the participation of diverse CTE faculty in leadership roles at the local, regional, and statewide levels through its ongoing professional development efforts.
