CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEES
In accordance with guidelines established by the California Community Colleges System Office, each De Anza Career Technical Education (CTE) program is represented by an advisory committee. These advisory committees are composed of business and industry leaders, as well as college faculty and administrators. They meet at least once annually to discuss course offerings and determine how to keep programs current with trends in the regional and global economies.
The advisory committees provide input by ■ Advising on industry trends and
employment needs
■ Reviewing current course content ■ Evaluating program graduates’
performance
■ Determining facilities and
equipment needs
■ Recommending new courses
and content
■ Initiating new certificate and
degree programs
The recommendations of the CTE
program advisory committees are implemented on a continuous basis. In addition to the program advisory committees, other college bodies make recommendations and decisions regarding implementation of new CTE certificate and degree programs. These bodies include the De Anza College Curriculum Committee and the Foothill and De Anza Colleges’ Joint Academic Senate.
