Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the role of Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) in enhancing the educational experiences of secondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers in Utah. By surveying CTE educators, the research identifies key factors that motivate teachers to implement CTSOs, as well as barriers they face in doing so. The findings indicate that a significant majority of teachers recognize the value of CTSOs for fostering student engagement and career readiness. Key motivators include support from school administration and access to professional development, while challenges such as time constraints and resource limitations hinder participation. The study highlights the importance of providing targeted training and administrative support to improve CTSO implementation, benefiting both students and the future workforce by preparing them for high-demand careers.
