CAREER-CONNECTED TEACHER PROGRAM (CCTP)

Helping Teachers Turn Career Insight Into Student Opportunity

The Career-Connected Teacher Program (CCTP) helps K–12 educators build stronger connections between classroom learning and the world of work. Through industry exposure, educational tours, optional job shadowing, and supported curriculum design, participants explore local industries and career pathways, connect with business and community leaders, and translate workplace insight into meaningful, future-focused learning for students.

​

Participants are expected to attend one Regional Landscape Session and three educational tour visits during the 2026–27 school year. To participate, educators must first complete the CCTP registration form, then use the schedule below to RSVP for the individual sessions they would like to attend. CCTP is free for educators from BVEF member districts and $100 per educator for non-member districts.
