Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are not extracurricular clubs—they are co-curricular organizations intentionally integrated into Career and Technical Education (CTE) to provide leadership development, technical skill application, career exploration, employability skills, and authentic workplace experiences. When CTSOs collaborate instead of operating independently, schools create stronger CTE programs, increase student engagement, strengthen industry partnerships, and provide more meaningful leadership opportunities for all students. This interactive workshop equips educators with practical strategies to build a collaborative CTSO culture that advances the shared mission of CTE and student success.
