Recipients of the award will have addressed area workforce needs in collaboration with an education partner. Their work will have demonstrated innovation, creativity and a sustainable partnership with a mission to improve students’ education experiences and bolster career and technical education programs.
Nominations can be submitted through a nomination form, available here. Nominations must be completed by Feb. 7.
All applications will be reviewed by a committee, and the award winners will be selected by mid-March. Winners will be saluted at the Wisconsin Association of Career and Technical Education Conference Awards Breakfast on Friday, April 11, in Middleton.
