Career and Technical Education Impact Report 2022 Introduction Career and technical education programs have seen a resurgence thanks to increased demand for skilled workers in a variety of technical trades and professions. Recent trends and world events have highlighted the need for many trade jobs that had not received wide public recognition for the past several decades. Utah State University’s Department of Technology, Design, and Technical Education’s goal is to provide learning opportunities that prepare students to meet steadily growing workforce demands and to make education and training possible in locations throughout the state. Facilities and relevant equipment tend to be the limiting factors in expanding existing opportunities and developing new programs in response to community and student needs. Career and technical education programs typically involve specialized equipment as industry needs and standards can rapidly change. Ample space for training may also need to change within an industry, and require relatively large, dedicated spaces). In maintaining our programs, we must also take into account that workforce needs are ever changing and developing instructional programs founded on the need of the communities we serve is of paramount importance. Sincerely, Brian Warnick, Department Head, Technology, Design, and Technical Education
