    Career Technical Student Organizations (i.e. CTSOs) are an integral part of the Career and Technical Education program. These co-curricular connections provide students with leadership, personal growth, and career success through soft-skill development.

    Members are provided opportunities to compete with other students in regional, state, and national conferences. Events are aligned with classroom instruction students receive or to workplace readiness skills.
