Relevance to the CTE Field: Career and Technical Education (CTE) equips learners with the skills needed for successful careers, and financial literacy is a crucial part of this readiness. By integrating personal finance education into CTE programs, this workshop supports educators in preparing students for real-world challenges. It empowers students to make informed financial decisions as they transition into the workforce and helps professionals strengthen their financial stability as they advance in their careers. This alignment with CTE’s focus on practical, career-focused learning enhances both personal and professional outcomes.
