The opening seminar focused on "The Role of Leadership" in Career and Technical Education (CTE). Presenters at the seminar shared local, state, and national perspectives on CTE.

Each Scholar's Plan will identify leadership goals, objectives, barriers, and evaluations to be implemented during the course of the year.
