CSA Continues To Fight The Battle In Favor Of Career
Technical Education (CTE) Reform

CSA continues to fight the battle in favor of career technical education (CTE) reform. We are a member of the Get REAL (Relevance in Education and Learning) coalition and our numbers continue to grow. CSA's members have for some time voiced their concern about the technical readiness of the technician recruits they hiring. As increased retirements from our workforce grow, the concern about replacing them becomes more acute. As a stakeholder in the space enterprise community, we thought you'd want to see the diverse group now forming the bedrock of our CTE reform efforf. Below is the current listing of coaltion members.  The asterisks indicate new members added in the last two weeks. If your organization's name isn't listed, please consider joining this important coalition.  An application to sign up and more information about Get REAL can be found at:  www.getrealca.com.

The Get REAL coalition to expand CTE in California's curriculum continues to grow.  As a coalition member we thought you'd want to see the diverse group now forming the bedrock of our efforts.  Below is the current list of coalition members with asterisks next to members added in the last two weeks.  We appreciate your support and we will continue to ask more to join our cause.
