“Let’s Talk CTE” Sessions
Maricopa’s District Workforce and Economic Development Office (WEDO) is launching a series of virtual sessions featuring timely Career and Technical Education (CTE) topics.
This series is part of WEDO’s commitment to promoting stakeholder engagement and sparking new conversations within the Maricopa community related to workforce and CTE trends and priorities.
Each session will be delivered by area professionals, national experts, and leading education researchers on a range of critical topics including prior learning assessment, micro-credentialing, early college onramps, career pathways, and partnerships. The session format will help connect to local, state and national issues and allow attendees to participate more fully in asking questions, presenting views, and providing solutions.
