Career and Technical Education: Developing Employability Skills (2026–27)
Starting in June 2026
Career and Technical Education Community of Practice empowers CTE educators to integrate AVID strategies that build the employability skills students need to thrive in both the classroom and future careers. This course bridges technical content with proven AVID instructional practices. Through hands-on experiences with WICOR®, the AVID College and Career Readiness Framework, and real-world applications, participants learn to foster student agency, collaboration, and critical thinking. Whether new to AVID or seeking to deepen their practice through collaboration with other CTE educators, participants leave equipped to elevate their students’ future readiness with purpose and passion.
This session is available as a part of:
3-day summer virtual professional learning event featuring real-time interaction with facilitators and peers nationwide in both a Community of Practice and a session illustrating ways to extend learning throughout the school year, engage in productive planning, and ignite inspiration campuswide. Plus, time is provided before or after virtual learning for individuals to further reflect or for sites and districts to host their own activities.
2-day professional learning hosted at a face-to-face location across the United States yearlong provides an excellent way to broaden or deepen the ongoing improvement of instruction and comprehensive culture of student success within your school setting.
3-day professional learning hosted at 10 face-to-face locations across the United States during June and July that provides high-paced, interactive, dynamic professional learning while modeling engaging and rigorous instruction.
SI Pop-Ups deliver the impact of a full Summer Institute in a smaller, more intimate setting, bringing high-quality AVID professional learning to regions that don’t typically host our larger events.
