Message from CTAE Director A brief summary of the status and accomplishments of the secondary Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs in the state of Georgia during the 2014-15 school year is contained in this annual report. The mission of CTAE is to educate Georgia's future workforce by engaging students in experiences that will prepare them for workplace success. One of the main accomplishments in FY 2015 is the improved graduation rate of 94.9% for CTAE Concentrators which is an increase from 88.9% the previous year. CTAE Concentrators who took a sequence of three or more classes in a single program area graduated at a higher rate than all Georgia students. The graduation rate for all students statewide during this same year is 78.8%. Some of the other accomplishments highlighted from the 2014-15 school year include increases in high school students earning industry credentials, student membership in Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), increase in postsecondary options, and increase in STEM school/program certification. Industry credentials earned by high school students were 21,702 (18% increase from previous year). Membership was increased from last year in these specific CTSOs: Future Farmers of America (3%), and Technology Student Association (23%). In FY 15, a total of 11,412 students participated in postsecondary options and earned college credits (19.3% increase from previous year). Eight additional schools and/or programs within schools achieved STEM certification during 2014-15. In order to fulfill the CTAE mission of educating Georgia's workforce, CTAE educators form partnerships with a variety of stakeholders. These partnerships are formed through relationships built on trust and communication. Many of the CTAE stakeholders include business & industry partners, CTAE Resource Network, Career and Technical Student Organizations, Technical College System of Georgia, University System of Georgia, GaDOE Division of Curriculum & Instruction, General Assembly, and SBOE Members. We value the partnerships of our stakeholders and know that educating Georgia's future workforce takes many people working together. Sincerely, Barbara M. Wall, Ed.D. Director of Career, Technical and Agricultural Education The mission of CTAE is to educate Georgia's future workforce by engaging students in experiences that will prepare them for workplace success. It is through experiences that students are able to put academic knowledge to practice. Often, CTAE is the 'hook' that keeps students in school and serves as the impetus for them to graduate.

Georgia's Department of Education Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) is preparing Georgia's students for their next step after high school--college, the military, or immediately beginning a career. Georgia CTAE course offerings, and the new Educating Georgia's Future Workforce initiative, leverage partnerships with industry and higher education to ensure students have the skills they need to thrive in the workforce of the future. CTAE offers students over 130 career pathways within 17 Career Clusters modeled after the National Career Cluster Model which is utilized across the United States. The state career and technical education system consists of programs offered at the middle and secondary school level by the CTAE Division of the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) and at the postsecondary level by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and Georgia Board of Regents. Guidelines of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) align the CTAE program with the academic indicators of the No Child Left Behind Act. The CTAE program is designed for students to experience the relevance in the workplace of what they are learning in the classroom. The curriculum includes national standards, CTAE standards, and Georgia Performance Standards, in addition to career development activities allowing students to make the connection between class activities and the workforce.
