...and their educator/student organizations.
As school counselors and career development professionals, it is important to partner with our fellow CTAE educators of other divisions. As iron sharpens iron, working closely with our CTAE directors and teachers makes us more knowledgeable about the opportunities that await our students.
For that and more, we want to share this overview of our sister divisions in Georgia ACTE, related career clusters, the professional organization associated with the division, and any related career/technical student organizations (CTSOs) that our students can participate in to enhance their learning experience.
