I understand the fellowship runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
I can attend monthly virtual check-ins from 7:00–8:00 a.m.
I can participate in three in-person career-technical center visits.
I can attend the CTE Futures Forum, Ohio CTE Legislative Seminar (February 24–25, 2027), and All Ohio Conference (July 26–28, 2027).
I can meet regional team project deadlines, including the scoping brief due December 2026, the written brief due June 2027, and the team presentation at the 2027 All Ohio Conference.
I understand the tuition amounts are $1,250 for Ohio ACTE members and $1,125 for EIM members, and that national conference registration, travel, lodging, and team project costs are not included.
I understand the expectation that I attend and participate in one ACTE (National) preferably National Policy Seminar or CareerTech Vision.
My Superintendent and Supervisor support my participation and have a full understanding of the time commitment.
