Program Overview

The Association for Career and Technical Education of Wyoming is pleased to again offer an opportunity for you to get more involved in your professional association.  This program allows members to receive an insight into the workings of ACTE, WACTE, and all the affiliate organizations that make up these associations.  By attending a number of pre-planned events, those selected to become a fellow will learn about policymaking connected to career and technical education at the local, state, and national level.  Through this training process you will become an effective advocate, a strong leader, and a valuable member of WACTE. Our hope is that with this training you will step up into a position of leadership with your affiliate, state, or national professional association.

There will be at least one in-service session for the purpose of training the Fellows for the activities they will participate in.  Additional training and planning sessions may be necessary as the requirements for each activity may vary.

A selection committee, to be composed of WACTE officers and Fellowship Interns, will identify the 2004-2005 Fellows.  No more than two new Fellows will be selected.  The most important criteria will be the applicants’ ability to demonstrate the support of their local administration and the narrative part of the fellowship proposal. 

WACTE encourages local school districts to support a candidate(s) for the WACTE fellowship program.  Districts may commit to financially sponsoring a participant in the fellowship program.  The program of work activities, the application process, and the selection criteria will remain the same. The submitting district will agree that this is a candidate they will sponsor and final agreement for selection will be at the discretion of the WACTE Fellowship selection committee.

WACTE will cover some travel costs as needed and approved by the Fellowship Committee.
