Become the CTE Leader Arizona Needs

The Association for Career and Technical Education of Arizona (ACTEAZ) is proud to support and elevate Arizona’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) professionals—including educators, counselors, administrators, support staff, and industry partners—who are passionate about shaping the future of our workforce.

At ACTEAZ, we don’t just advocate for CTE—we activate CTE leaders.

We are committed to:

• Empowering a diverse and connected community of professionals
• Raising public awareness of CTE’s transformational impact
• Amplifying your voice at the local, state, and national levels
• Equipping CTE professionals with the tools to lead with purpose

Are you ready to expand your impact?

The ACTEAZ Fellows Program is your launchpad into meaningful leadership. This dynamic, two-year journey is designed to deepen your knowledge of CTE issues, connect you with changemakers, sharpen your leadership skills, and inspire you to lead with authenticity. You’ll walk away with more than insights—you’ll walk away with a plan, a network, and a renewed sense of purpose.

You’ll:

• Connect with fellow CTE changemakers
• Meet CTE leaders shaping policy and the future of education
• Learn how to advocate for your students, your profession, and your programs
• Grow into a confident, effective leader in your district and beyond

This is your opportunity to lead change—right here in Arizona.

The ACTEAZ Fellows Program selection process takes place each summer. Candidates are chosen by a committee of ACTEAZ Officers based on their Letter of Application, Statement of Current Issues, and demonstrated support from their local administration. If you’re ready to grow, lead, and make a lasting difference in CTE, we invite you to apply.
