Lead CTE Network for CTE Leaders and Administrators

This cohort series includes the Oct 5th & 6th, 2026, face-to-face workshop, four virtual meetings, and a spring face-to-face workshop.

A statewide cohort designed to provide district leaders, administrators, and decision makers without a background in Career and Technical Education (CTE) with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to better understand, design, and implement impactful CTE programming. The program is for superintendents, principals, business managers, counselors, curriculum leaders, instructional coaches, and other district and school-level administration.

The Lead CTE Network aims to strengthen leadership capacity in CTE, foster collaboration, align CTE curriculum with industry standards, promote access and opportunity in CTE, and advance systems change thinking.

The Minnesota Service Cooperatives (MSC), the Minnesota Association of Career and Technical Education Administrators (MACTA), and the Minnesota Association for Career and Technical Education (MnACTE) administer the Lead CTE Network, with major support from the MSC CTE Consortium Grant.

Vision: To cultivate a statewide cohort of district/school teams who are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of CTE systems, collaborate with stakeholders, and lead innovative efforts to align CTE programs with workforce and industry needs.

‍Cost: $400 per participant, which includes hotel and meals for in-person sessions. (Note: if paying by credit card, a $13 fee will apply.)
