CMMA CTE Jamboree: RESCHEDULED
Career and Technical Education Jamboree
8:00 - 9:50 am

CMMA is excited to host our fifth annual CTE Jamboree!  The CTE (Career and Technical Education) Jamboree is intended to close the gap between education and industry.  The event features an experienced lineup of speakers that are active in CTE in Minnesota.  Following the presentations, new this year - stay for the CREATE Conference.

The CTE Jamboree will focus on creating viable partnerships between education and manufacturing.  More school-centric than most CMMA meetings, attendees will learn about best practices in promoting manufacturing careers in a K12 setting, learn how best to forge relationships between industry and education, learn about grant funded opportunities, and more.

School board members, superintendents, principals, counselors and CTE teachers are invited to attend.  Manufacturers are invited to attend.   

As is CMMA's policy for general meetings and tours, all K12 school representatives are invited to attend at no cost; registration required.
