Career and Technical Student Organizations

What is a CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organization)?

Any student enrolled in a CTE program is eligible for membership in the Career and Technical Student Association (CTSO) associated with that program
CTSOs develop leadership, teamwork, technical and citizenship skills which are essential for the workplace and further education
CTSOs provide opportunities for developing social competencies
CTSOs provide a unique instructional method for attaining the technical skills and objectives identified in each program. Their activities are considered a part of the instructional day, and, as such, are co-curricular, not extra-curricular
A career and technical student organization (CTSO) is an integral part of each program
