The Career Tech Business and Industry Partners program is an initiative of the Ohio Association for Career and Technical Education (Ohio ACTE), the Ohio Association of Career Technical Superintendents (OACTS) and the Ohio Association of Comprehensive and Compact Career-Technical Schools (Ohio CCS). Together, the three organizations represent all career tech educators in Ohio. To support the expansion of career technical education for students throughout the state and to strengthen Ohio’s economy, the power and promise of the partnerships between career and technical education and business and industry needs to be communicated to our lawmakers, regulators and citizens. These three organizations are proud to support this initiative.
