Unlocking Opportunities: What is Career Technical Education and How You Can Get Involved in Your Community
Wednesday, July 9 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. CT
Presented by: Lindsey Trent, NextGen Trucking
Curious about how education and industry can work together to solve workforce challenges? Join us for a powerful and eye-opening webinar hosted by the Next Generation in Trucking Association as we explore Career Technical Education (CTE)—what it is, why it matters, and how you can make a meaningful impact in your local schools and communities.
CTE is more than just shop class—it's the gateway to high-demand, high-wage careers for students and the future talent pipeline for industries like trucking, logistics, and diesel technology. In this session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the structure of education in America, how CTE programs are funded and built, and where the trucking industry fits in. Whether you’re a company leader, HR professional, or passionate advocate for youth and workforce development, you’ll leave equipped with real strategies and resources to support career education pathways.
Next Gen Trucking will guide you through:
- The current state of education and why CTE is essential now more than ever
- How trucking and supply chain careers are being integrated into school programs
- Tangible ways you or your company can get involved—from classroom visits to advisory boards
- Stories of real impact from across the country
Don’t miss your chance to learn how you can help steer the next generation toward successful, purpose-driven careers—starting in your own backyard
Who should attend:
Trucking and logistics professionals, industry leaders, HR and talent development teams, workforce board members, and anyone interested in supporting the future of education and industry.
