As the Interim Executive Director of the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS), I am honored to lead this extraordinary agency during such an important time. CTECS plays a critical role in shaping Connecticut’s future workforce by providing high-quality career and technical education to more than 11,000 high school students and nearly 3,000 adult learners. Our dedicated team of educators and staff work tirelessly to prepare students for rewarding careers and meaningful contributions to their communities. We ensure our graduates are ready to meet the demands of today’s rapidly evolving industries.
Looking ahead, we see countless opportunities to grow, innovate, and strengthen our system. I look forward to collaborating with Governor Lamont’s administration, legislators, the CTECS Advisory Board, educators, industry leaders, labor unions, colleges and universities, and all our stakeholders in this endeavor. I am confident that we have the people and passion to achieve great things for CTECS students and the state of Connecticut.
Your voice matters in this journey. I encourage you to share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback as we work together to uphold CTECS’ commitment to being the state’s primary pipeline for a skilled labor workforce.
Alice Pritchard, Ph.D.
