The PLSP Advisory Committee will provide expert advice and direction for the development and implementation of the Postsecondary Leadership Success Program. The PLSP at ACTE, which is sponsored by the ECMC Foundation, supports current and aspiring leaders in career and technical education (CTE). The more than $1 million grant-funded program will provide professional and career growth opportunities to the next generation of leaders at nonprofits and postsecondary institutions offering CTE programs.
ACTE will engage two successive cohorts of 20 CTE postsecondary professionals in leadership development activities like creating a personal development plan, attending virtual and in-person professional development sessions, sharing best practices with the field and engaging with a mentor. The goal of the program is to help the ECMC Foundation Fellows develop and refine their skills in organizational leadership and management; build critical skills in communication, collaboration, networking, problem solving and use of time/resources; and hone their ability to facilitate institutional change.
