BY: Senator MURRAY

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 February 2026, as Teach CTE Month in the State of
 New York

 WHEREAS, The State of New York takes great pride in participating in
days and months of awareness for important community and education
issues; and

 WHEREAS, It is also the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
the dedication and commitment of our educators who distinguish
themselves through excellence in teaching and to encourage others to
pursue the field of education to continue to best support student growth
and the needs of future learners, contribute to the expansion of
opportunities and to promote program development aligned with workforce
trends; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
recognize and to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February
2026, as Teach CTE Month in the State of New York, recognizing the
contributions and the importance of the field of Career and Technical
Education for students, educators and industry partners; and

 WHEREAS, More investment is needed to scale and grow Career and
Technical Education (CTE) programs across the state to meet future
workforce demands and to ensure that all learners receive an equitable
experience through the awareness of opportunities; and

 WHEREAS, It is important to recognize the invaluable contribution of
career and technical education to the future workers in our state in an
effort to increase workforce readiness and industry development, as 49
percent of jobs in our great state require skills training, however 37
percent are trained at this level; and

 WHEREAS, Career and Technical Education professionals assist
students all across New York in exploring, planning for, and training
for their future occupation through a comprehensive experience that
provides for higher rates of high school graduation than non-CTE peers,
industry credentials, licenses, postsecondary certificates, college
degrees, work-based learning opportunities, industry based learning and
cross-curricular applications in the disciplines of math, science, ELA,
oral and written communication, ascetic, and the development of soft
skills; and

 WHEREAS, There are numerous career and technical education
organizations throughout this great state that provide training and
professional development in every sector of the New York State economy;
and

 WHEREAS, The New York State Association for Career and Technical
Education (NYSACTE) is a statewide organization representing and
supporting thousands of career and technical education professionals who

work collaboratively with students, educators and industry to carry out
the mission of NYSACTE in developing a competitive workforce; and

 WHEREAS, NYSACTE members understand that together, as Career and
Technical Educators, it is critical to offer cutting edge, rigorous and
relevant education that prepares individuals for high-wage, high-scale,
high-demand careers in established and emerging industries; and

 WHEREAS, This education addresses the needs of closing the skills
gap through placing an emphasis on fostering leadership skills inside
and outside of the classroom, as well as offering students the
opportunity to work together to accomplish goals, run student-centered
events and meetings where ideas, initiatives and solutions are developed
through project-based learning to develop a foundation of skills that
will help students learn how to excel as future leaders in the workforce
of tomorrow; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that the
importance of the field of teaching in the Career and Technical
Education sector should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens
of the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body p
