The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) wants to mount an effective image campaign for career and technical education and is competing for a grant award of $250,000 in the Pepsi Refresh Program in October 2010.

Grants are awarded by popular vote and ACTE has asked for SkillsUSA member and stakeholder support. You can vote up to once each day from a specific e-mail address and can vote online or via text. To vote, go to ACTE’s Web site at www.acteonline.org or go to the link below and once you are in, click “Vote for this idea.” A further description of the project is available on the Pepsi Refresh site.

We strongly support ACTE’s efforts to create a positive image campaign for CTE. Please spread the word to your members, clients and constituents and urge them to vote every day. Please also promote this opportunity at any and all in-person events or conferences you have during the month of October. We know the CTE community is passionate about what they do and we want to make sure everyone gets the message.
