The Career and Technical Education CoLab (CTE CoLab) aims to reduce disparities in academic and career outcomes for students of color—especially students who are Black, Latinx, or Indigenous—enrolled in credit-bearing online postsecondary CTE programs.

The CTE CoLab is a collaboration led by the Urban Institute in partnership with five national organizations. Together, they convene a community of practice made up of 12 community and technical colleges to build knowledge and develop tools to address inequities for students of color in credit-bearing online CTE programs. Funding for this effort comes from ECMC Foundation.

Thank you to the ITC Collaborative Grant Steering Committee for all of the efforts on behalf of the organization during the term of this project:
