CTE Standards Crosswalked to Global Competence
Global CTE Toolkit

The Common Career Technical Core is a common set of CTE standards created for each of Advance CTE’s 16 Career Cluster areas. This document crosswalks each of the 16 career clusters with the four domains of global competence, demonstrating the clear alignment between global education and CTE. Each crosswalk is also filled with ideas of global projects that can support the standards taught in each of the career pathways.
This toolkit provides resources, including: sample projects ready to be used in CTE classrooms, global career planning resources, workforce readiness rubrics, crosswalks of global education and CTE standards, global career profile videos, talking points, and more.
