A volume in Adult Education Special Topics: Theory, Research, and
Practice in Lifelong LearningSeries Editor: Kathleen P. King,
Fordham UniversityCareer and Technical Education (CTE) has become a
vibrant source of workforce development across the globe. It is
nolonger an offering only for a specialized sector of students.
Instead, it has matured into a sound and meaningful programfor high
school and post-secondary students across interest areas, and
abilities. CTE programs and students realize thegreat relevancy of
the programs to workplace and higher education readiness and
immediate earning power.This volume addresses the changing needs of
foundation courses in CTE. As land grant universities began to
offer coursesto cover the historical, social and philosophical
aspects of CTE, teaching institutions have followed suit.
Therefore, readerswill find not only a rich background in history
and philosophy of the field, but also theory, best practice, and
strategies specificallygrounded in CTE.As scholars and
practitioners argue whether human resource development (HRD)
encompasses CTE or vice versa in thefield, this text proves that
HRD is an integral component and thrust of CTE. As a broad field of
study, CTE has come a long way and its history parallels the
efforts ofhumanity from the Stone Age to modern civilization.
Building Workforce Competencies through CTE proves that CTE
survived, and thrives. The more we realize howpervasive technology
and information skills are needed in our society, the more we need
CTE. CTE is a leader in innovative educational programs,
pedagogical theoryand practice; it prepares people, young and old,
for the world of work. This book provides a practical and visionary
basis for cultivating future opportunities and directionsin CTE.
