Strategic Plan Priorities
The Association for Career and Technical Education’s strategic plan must have the active involvement of all participants in the enterprise.

Each year HSE will develop a strategic plan that will reflect the primary efforts of HOE through a series of goals, objectives and activities. The ACTE strategic plan will be considered and incorporated as appropriate.

The goals represent a broad organizational thrust that is identified in the HOE policies. They include professional development, program improvement, policy development and marketing health occupations and career and technical education. The dynamic objectives within each goal represent the means to achieving the goal. Activities are specific events achievable within a year.

The Strategic Plan is a guide for all those involved in HSE. It sets a collective direction and plan of action for people who are committed to improving and expanding quality health occupations education and career and technical education.

Each year the strategic plan is examined and modified by the HSE Division’s Policy Committee. The vice chairman assumes lead responsibility together with the HSE president, for collecting input from the Councils and for shaping the strategic plan for the next year, based on these perceptions.

The ACTE Vice President of Health Science Education is responsible for the development and implementation of the division’s strategic plan.
