As Arkansas continues to strengthen its Employment, Enlistment, and Enrollment (3E) initiative, Virtual Arkansas is committed to providing innovative and accessible Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities that prepare students for success beyond high school. In this session, we will explore how Virtual Arkansas’s flexible and high-quality CTE services empower students—no matter their location—to develop in-demand skills, discover industry-recognized credentials, and connect real-world experience that aligns with the 3E pathways. Attendees will discover:
•How Virtual Arkansas CTE courses and services align with Arkansas Department of Education’s 3E goals and career clusters.
•Real success stories of students using Virtual Arkansas to transition directly into the workforce, military service, or postsecondary education.
•Strategies for schools and districts to leverage Virtual Arkansas’s CTE programs to expand opportunities for students—especially in rural and underserved communities.
Join us to learn how Virtual Arkansas can be a key partner in ensuring that every student graduates with a plan, a purpose, and a pathway to success.
