What is an Advisory Committee ?

Career and Technical Education Advisory Committees
Career and Technical Education (CTE) advisory committees advise, assist, and provide support and advocacy for quality CTE programs. Advisory committee volunteers have the opportunity to learn more about the CTE program, and the instructor's are able to increase their understanding of the job market, employers' needs, and community opportunities. CTE advisory committees:
Provide information to update, modify, expand and improve the quality of programs.
Support and strengthen the partnership between business, labor, the community, and education.
Make recommendations that will strengthen and expand the CTE curriculum, and provide assistance in implementing these recommendations.
Identify and validate academic and occupational competencies, determining priorities, review and evaluate programs.
Share long-term goals and objectives of the CTE programs to students, parents, employers and the community.
Commitment?

General Advisory
A general advisory council (GAC) provides direction and guidance to administrators for the entire Career and Technical Education program offered by a district.
Program-specific Advisory
A program-specific advisory committee
focuses on providing direction for a specific CTE program.
What is the Time Commitment?
What is expected of a CTE Advisory Committee volunteer?

Meetings for both general and program-specific advisories are often in the late afternoon or evening; after school and when many business people are available.
Occasional work outside of meetings.
Advisory members are invited to participate in additional opportunities to work with students.

CTE Advisory Committee members have the opportunity to work with students.
