Drive CTE with Penn State
Drive CTE podcasts explore topics aimed to help instructors, counselors, and administrators improve Career and Technical Education (CTE) in middle, secondary, and postsecondary schools. The recordings feature research and expert practitioners who offer advice, best practices, and lessons learned on different topics each month. Unlike a webinar, conference presentation, or class discussion, the podcasts are designed for the audience to participate as you listen to your car radio at the beginning or end of the school day. Drive CTE by downloading this podcast today.
