Career and Technical Education (CTE) in urban communities is strongest when families, educators, and community partners function as a connected village. This session invites CTE practitioners to examine parent and community engagement through the lens of impact networks, intentional relationships that align people, resources, and shared responsibility for student success. Participants will explore practical strategies for building trust, strengthening family partnerships, and leveraging community assets across networks that support CTE pathways. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to shift engagement from isolated efforts to sustained, community-driven impact.
