Roundtable 21: Designing High-Impact CTE for People and Performance

Friday September 18, 2026 8:15am - 9:30am EDT

Regency EF

You’re getting the outcomes you designed for. When students struggle, faculty and staff are often left navigating systems that were not built with real human needs in mind.
This session centers Human-Centered Design (HCD) as a practical approach to strengthening postsecondary CTE workforce capacity. Participants will learn how HCD can help faculty and staff better understand student and colleague experiences, reduce friction, and improve program effectiveness.
Designed for postsecondary CTE teams, this session focuses on everyday application. Attendees will engage in a short, guided activity and leave with simple HCD tools they can immediately use to improve outcomes within their roles.
