PCTA Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee's purpose is to strengthen the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs it serves by advising educators and administrators on the design, development, operation, evaluation and revision of CTE programs. Committee members from the private sector, as well as post secondary institutions, bring workplace knowledge, experience and resources to ensure that all aspects of the CTE program reflect current industry needs and workplace conditions, including technological advances and job market trends, that students are engaged in rigorous and relevant learning experiences, and that programs of study are aligned with postsecondary education and training so that program graduates are capable of succeeding in the occupation for which they have trained.

PCTA meets every third Thursday of each month at 8:30 AM at the Providence Career and Technical Academy.
