Welcome To The SC CTE Leadership Network
The Office of Career Readiness presents the 2026–27 SC CTE Leadership Network, a coordinated professional learning system that provides consistent guidance, practical tools, and meaningful connections for CTE administrators, directors, and coordinators. Through two aligned pathways, it offers differentiated support based on role and experience, strengthening leadership capacity and ensuring clear, statewide communication.
The SC CTE Leadership Network
The SC CTE Leadership Network is a year‑long, blended professional support system designed for all CTE administrators, regardless of experience level. Through a thoughtful mix of in‑person convenings and virtual touchpoints, the network provides timely guidance, shared learning, and meaningful opportunities to connect with peers across the state.
