Introducing the New York Postsecondary State CTE Leaders Fellowship at Advance CTE - Sponsored by ECMC Foundation! Building off the success of the Advance CTE National Fellowship, the New York Fellowship will establish a talent pipeline of postsecondary CTE leaders fiercely committed to creating an accessible and racially just postsecondary CTE system. Through the 14-month NY Fellowship, the Fellows of the inaugural cohort will - participate in interactive, eight workshops focused on effective policies and practices for improving postsecondary CTE outcomes for all learners; - build a local and national network of CTE leaders;  - receive one-on-one mentoring;  - receive a $1000 participant stipend; and - complete a real-world fellowship project in their community. Upon completion of the Fellowship, Fellows will be better positioned for postsecondary CTE leadership roles within their institution, as well as on a state and federal level. This is a unique opportunity to be some of the first in NYS to participate and be part of improving the postsecondary ecosystem in NYS. The NY Fellowship is open to New York State residents who are currently working or who have experience in a New York State (NYS) postsecondary CTE program in a role such as administrator, educator, or professional staff, or as an individual from labor and workforce with direct connections to NYS postsecondary institutions.
