Dr. Ellen Solek is honored to serve as the Executive Director for the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS); the primary pipeline for Connecticut’s skilled labor workforce. When CTECS separated from the State Department of Education on July 1, 2022, state legislation was enacted that requires the establishment of a CTECS Superintendent of Schools and an Executive Director, as appointed by the Governor.
Dr. Solek is focused on the development of CTECS business and industry partners, the oversight of agency fiscal operations, and the continued collaboration with state legislators and leaders in support of the CTECS mission and vision.
