Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) help students develop skills to prepare them for the workforce or higher education. Students work together building leadership, teamwork, and organizational skills essential to the workplace and higher education. CTSOs hold students to high academic and workplace standards while utilizing their school-based learning with work and family skills. The skills they learn encourage students to:

• become better students and productive citizens.

• leaders in school and within the community.

• building self-esteem and confidence.
