CTE Pathways Initiative (SB 70/SB 1133) Advisories

The Career Technical Education Unit of the California Community Colleges will be offering Advisories as a way to provide general information and direction to grantees pertaining to any changes and/or updates to the CTE grant process. The CTE unit will provide advisories on an as-needed basis; therefore, you will receive these advisories on a periodic rather than a regular basis. Each advisory will be accompanied by a unique number. Please review and file for future reference. For your convenience, PDF and Word 2003 formats are provided.

Feel free to provide feedback on these advisories to assist us in making this process valuable for the grantee and the Chancellor’s Office. If you have any questions, please contact your grant monitor.
