CTE Advisory Board

Horticulture

To build the CTE program, school division staff works closely with the community to learn what workforce needs there are and where skilled workers could thrive. The CTE Advisory Board is made of local business and community professionals, teachers, students, administrators and parents. The purpose of the advisory committee is to support educators, students and businesses in developing, establishing and evaluating CTE programs to ensure students are well prepared for the world of work.
