Calcasieu Parish School Board (CPSB) in Louisiana has built one of the state’s most comprehensive and equitable Career and Technical Education (CTE) ecosystems. Serving 30,000 students across diverse backgrounds, CPSB focuses on community partnerships, employer engagement, and expanding student access to high-demand pathways—from healthcare and hospitality to cybersecurity, networking, and AI.

In this webinar, Tony McCardle, Administrative Director of CTE, shares how CPSB uses industry-aligned digital resources to support teachers, strengthen certification pathways, and prepare students for real-world success.

Attendees will learn how CPSB:

  • Ensures equity with its ‘CTE for All’ model
  • Recruits and supports industry-experienced educators
  • Measures student outcomes beyond graduation

Join us to explore practical strategies you can implement in your district to expand access, strengthen workforce readiness, and build future-focused CTE programs.
