Information about Association For Career And Technical Education
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) is the largest American national education association dedicated to the advancement of education that prepares youth and adults for successful careers. ACTE's core purpose is to provide leadership in developing an educated, prepared, and competitive workforce. 
ACTE is a diverse organization, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, representing approximately 30,000 career and technical educators, administrators, researchers, guidance counselors and others involved in planning and conducting career and technical education (CTE) programs at all levels of education.
ACTE is committed to enhancing the job performance and satisfaction of its members; to increasing public awareness and appreciation for career and technical programs; and to assuring growth in local, state and federal funding for these programs by communicating and working with legislators and government leaders.
In 1998 AVA members voted to change the organization’s name to reflect the increase in academic and technical courses being offered. AVA became the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), and programs that were once called vocational education are now called career and technical education.
ACTE members are organized into 12 divisions or segments of career and technical education that help align each individual’s field of expertise with professionals who either teach or hold positions in the same industry. In addition to ACTE’s 12 divisions, there are five geographic regions covering all 50 states and the Bahamas. These divisions hold multiple conferences of their own throughout the academic year and over the traditional summer break.
